Day in the Life of…
Twelve consecutive days on, followed by three consecutive days off — Houseparents are on duty in the morning as they prepare students for the day. While the students are in school, houseparents have personal time before going back on duty when the students return from school. Afternoons and evenings are busy with after-school activities, chores, meals, homework, and more. Equally as important are the character development and life lessons houseparents instill in students. Weekends include recreational activities and required attendance at a non-denominational Sunday chapel service. Summertime provides more recreational opportunities.
Update: Effective August 1, 2022, houseparents will work a schedule of nine days on, followed by three consecutive days off.
