Single-Parent Program

At Mount Dora Children’s Home, we know that being a single parent can be challenging. We’re here to offer hope and assistance toward a better future for you and your children.

 More than a decade ago, Mount Dora Children's Home made the strategic decision to launch the Single-Parent Program. Participants live on our campus for two years, rent-free, and are provided an opportunity to achieve wholeness and stability through a combination of education, counseling, life coaching, biblical teaching, mentoring, and other services.

The Single-Parent Program provides resources for self-improvement based on proven biblical principles. Parents are encouraged to become stronger, more focused, and capable of successfully raising their children. They are inspired to become contributors to their success as they enrich their own lives and give their children a chance for a brighter future.

Graduates of the program have earned college degrees, become first-time home buyers, and are working in fields such as education, health care, and law enforcement.

A Goals-Based Program

Single parents are encouraged to make a consistent effort to accomplish their goals and abide by the rules of the program. Once initial goals are discussed and set, weekly reviews help monitor progress toward achieving them. Goals may be added, eliminated, or changed based on the recommendations of the support team or desire of the single parent.

The ultimate goal is for single parents to transition from the program to a position where they can support their family financially and serve as the spiritual and emotional leaders of their family. We want to help single parents break the cycle of despair, abuse, and dependency and confidently face the future with God as their anchor and strength.

A relationship with Christ is at the center of the Single-Parent Program. Parents develop a closer bond with Jesus through church attendance, Bible study classes, and Christian parenting classes. We hope that every single parent will choose to follow Christ or renew their existing relationship.
