We are an approved Home and a place of safety under the Children and Young Persons Act. The current Home was opened on 22nd April 1993 and is able to accommodate up to 100 children, aged from 4 to 16 years old.

¡°¡..We aspire to nurture and develop our children to be responsible adults ¡.¡±
Our Mission
¡°To provide a loving and wholesome home for the emotional, social, physical, educational and spiritual development of the children who have been separated from their families so as to enable them to grow to their full potentials.¡± |
 |
Our Home Programme
We adopt the ¡°CARE¡± Programme, a developmental programme for school-going children that trains and develop the residents¡¯ motor, literacy, coping and study skills, as well as develop awareness towards social and religious obligation. In addition to this programme, every resident attends tuition and religious programme

Parent As Partners
A major effort of the Home is to facilitate the emotional bonding between parent and child for the eventual return of the children to their former home. Workshops and seminars for the parents are also conducted to equip the parents with the relevant parenting and communication skills. |
¡ WHY ARE WE AT PCH?
¡®Beyond Parental Control ¡® under the Children and Young Persons Act.
Because ¡¡ I am below 16 years old and my parent is unable to control me. My parent complained to the Juvenile Court that I did not return home for many days, I mixed with friends that taught me bad things, like smoking and I did many things that are morally incorrect. The Court accepted my parent¡¯s complaint and I was ordered by the court to be in this Home for 2 years. |
 |
¡®Care and Protection ¡® under the Children and Young Persons Act.
Because ¡.. my teacher saw many blue-black marks and wounds on my body. I was then sent to the hospital and I was placed in this Home. I am very sad because I do not want to leave my home but that lady from MCYS (a friend in this home told me) took me here. I am scared. I am only 8 years old. My parents will be angry with me and they will beat me again.
¡®Compassionate Ground¡¯ under Voluntary Admission
Because ¡¡ my teacher from the family service centre brought me here since both my parents are not able to take care of me. My mother and father are in jail.

PCH Family Core Values!
The 'CARE' core values act as a platform in which PCH¡¯s staff operates and manages the residents.
To be Captivated in the way a child behaves and reacts, staff of PCH will then be encouraged to understand & learn more about the child, as well as have the patience and passion to work with the child.
To also be Adaptable to Changes is essential in such a dynamic environment, in which children grow and develop.
|
The ability to be Resourceful in dealing with problems is also an essential trait for the purpose of nurturing and developing the children under our care.
Being able to exercise Empathy with the children will lead to understanding the children¡¯s emotions, deal with them positively and inevitably, teach them the right values to help them grow into a responsible adult.
¡ We can¡¯t do it alone!
