Zee and his team replaced a section of broken poured terrazzo flooring, repaired cracks, sanded, polished and sealed floors in both our hi rise condominiums lobbies.  The match on the replacement was near identical & the flooring looks like new, the shine looks like glass. I would highly recommend Terrafirma, very professional.

ABC (Association to Benefit Children)

My son is still in this program graduating in a month. He has been in this school for 2 years and I am so happy I placed him in this school. The staff is amazing and his teachers are very caring. He progressed so much with his speech and and OT. They are hands down amazing. Sad this is his last month there.

The school environment is very safe and clean. Unfortunately, kids are not learning anything. Teachers are very nice and friendly but most of them are not professional. Kids don’t even learn phonics and basic sight words. Best of all in the school is the principle Diana. But the worst thing is RACISM. If you are Spanish, you will be just fine in this place. Otherwise, I had a very tough year with some staff of the school who were very rude and unfair. They don’t even answer you back when you say good morning.

Wonderful school.  Good and safe location.  Wonderful professional teachers and staff. Diana is a great director.

Great school!!! My son loved learning in ABC Cassidy's place.

Children's Village - Unidos por un Sueño

I was sent there in 1961, yeah I know I am old. I was one of Father Benedict's Joseph (BJ) first choir members during the inaugural year of the chapel.  I was in Lenox cottage then we all moved to McAlister one of the newest cottages back in the day. We Had Football and played games against outside school teams. Baseball and softball, boxing, basketball, and swimming. We built an Indian village. Took a few trips with father Benedict to the city.
Yes,we had to fight sometimes to protect ourselves but honestly we all tried to hide them from the cottage parents.
The education was good at the main building and the trade shops too.
I remember the shoe shop where Mr. De Martino showed us how to fix a lot of the other kid's shoes.
Many years later while visiting,  BJ asked if  I could  address the children and tell them my CV story and how I used that to better my life.
I am married to a wonderful woman with 3 boys and One daughter who collectively they blessed me with 13 grandkids.
I live in the Midwest and after I retired got into giving back to my community.  I chair an Hispanic Leaders Group and was appointed by the Missouri Governor as one of his Human Rights Commissioners for the state.
I share this not to boast, but to motivate all CV alumni to see the possibilities of the good life they can have FROM LESSONS LEARNED.
Remember God does not make junk.
He has love enough for us all, we just have to accept it for ourselves.

Amongst many of the other managers and supervisors, Mr. H has to be one of the most unprofessional “managers” in this facility. Besides the terrible grammar he uses, he is incredibly disorganized, unjust, and does not display appropriate behavior that models the mission of children’s village. Additionally, the way employees are treated here is beyond corrupt. The work is hard and the laborers are few, which means each employee (especially those with the high-risk youth DAILY) are constantly intervening in combative situations amongst the youth. THERE IS NO REASON FOR MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS TO PENALIZE EMPLOYEES EXERCISING PROPER INTERVENTION TECHNIQUES IF THE GOAL IS TO KEEP THE CHILDREN SAFE. There is also no reason for employees to be penalized when high-risk youth have maniac or violent episodes. As I stated before and as it is stated on the CV website, THE WORK IS HARD. So why on Earth would MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS go against employees simply doing their job?! Ultimately, the residential location needs a thorough sweep of the supervisors and managers, it is absolutely disgusting how people are being treated. It’s almost as if they don’t know what working in a RTF entails. Time to do better for the kids and employees working with them on a daily basis.

The staff team is poorly trained and disjointed this includes the staff from top down culminating in  toxic casework. Understatement to say there is no support for families caring for fosters . The children in their care are subject to painful mismanagement constantly.

Stay clear of this agency at all costs.

Me and my younger brother were there in the mid 90s....we met a lot of cool people there....I was in Rose n Collins Cottage.....I was always going AWOL n OP...had the whole special services chasing me around the campus....I was on the jv n varsity basketball team...Ms. Mary was the coach

2 Stars is me being very generous for the sake of the company providing almost an unlimited amount of Overtime. Other than that this company is run by a group of people who look like they do no know what they’re doing at times. Their explanations for any problems presented is impeccable. Human Resources leaders and directors do not care about you as an employee in regards to what’s happening during covid, or any concerns brought up to them. I am an ex employee at this company for a little over year trust me when i say you are better off working at McDonalds or something. The most absurd thing about the company is that new employees with little to no experience get paid more than old employees who’ve been there obviously longer and are more experienced. Instead of trying to make you happy and comfortable, they will tell you to just quit your job and leave! You get paid too little for the amount of stress you are about to endure. Glad I left this place!

Covenant House: Mother and Child Programs

My experience here was bittersweet. The medical team is super sweet and considerate The social workers are nice so are the intake people. The food is super good The Ra’s are nice and cool. the only issue is the security guards you can tell they are only here for a paycheck and don’t have any real care for youth. The way they speak about us especially the heavy set older man that is on duty at night is disgusting. This not the place to be just for a check you are dealing with traumatized children.

covenant house has been nothing but good to me during this hard time in my life. they have not only provided me with food, clothing, housing, and other basic necessities, they have also provided me with care and support. each of the dedicated staff here have supported me through each step of the way and have motivated me to continue with the personal goals/dreams and academic aspirations that i have. the shared spaces are maintained clean by an amazing group of housekeepers who always have a smile on their face. i know where to get mental health support when i need it. the staff here goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything that you need— they were kind enough to do everything in their power to provide me with a device so that i could do my schoolwork. i am truly so blessed and grateful to everyone here for helping me feel a little less alone. to any youth thinking of coming to cov, i highly recommend that you do. although this is a temporary shelter, they will help place you into a TIL (transitional living), and will help you through the process with love and patience.

Clean and tidy shelter.  But they don't accept adult males over 20 years old ~ they only serve women and children.  ~I understood them, so I supported them, and they let me leave and go to a shelter for other men.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wow I remember I was 14 and pregnant and this place took me in here u am with a job and beautiful children this is a nice place to be if u need help as a teen

They help you if you want to help yourself, stay away from drama and focus on yourself. Work and show that you want to get out of there fast. Keep your things locked up people will try to steal from you. Be respectful to staff as you will want them to respect you. Other then that you get 3 meals a day and the rooms are pretty decent.
