School Notes

In 1991, San Mar was licensed by the Department of Human Resources as a Licensed Child Placement Agency.
Shortly thereafter, a program of Treatment Foster Care was begun as a means of initially providing nurturing and caring homes to girls no longer needing the high level of structure provided by the group home at San Mar Children Home.
This quickly expanded to serve both boys, and younger girls who had never been in residential care.
San Mar recruits, trains, licenses, supports, and encourages families willing to open their home and share their family with a child in need.
