The House Parent

The house parent couple is the backbone of our programs at Cornerstone Children’s  Ranch of Quemado TX, U.S.A. House parenting is arguably the toughest job within the organization.

House parent couples provide daily supervision for up to 8 children in the bunkhouse. The job includes serving as positive role models who teach life skills and offer guidance, discipline and spiritual development to the children. This takes a high level of energy and the capacity to meet the demands of a large family household.

Cornerstone Children’s Ranch boarding school houseparent’s are asked to provide primary care to children that have chosen to leave parents in Mexico in order to get the education need to grow into Christian adults. At the Ranch we will a try to keep siblings together the living situation that will be that of a large family. In some cases children may grow up from a very early age in the home. And stay in the home over 15 years. Our goal is to have parents’ house to just be the Mom and Dad to these little one helping them know the love of Christ through everyday life with this extended family group. The thing asked of the house parents are the keep the order; make breakfast for them assisted in the day to day schooling of the children. Our goal is to have a kitchen staff and group dining halls, for lunch and supper and someone to come in and do weekly housekeeping. We hope to have someone to come in once a month to assistant house parents’. We workingto have on grounds school, chapel, etc. We are are privately funded and are a work many ministries of various Christian Organizations and Denominations. We ask that you try to be equipped to care for children with some behavioral problems do lack of understanding the cultural differences.
