Family & Child Services - Crisis Nursery

Crisis Nursery offers to parents who are experiencing a stressful situation a temporary, voluntary, safe place for children, ages infant to 12, whether it's for a few hours or up to 72 continuous hours of care.

A crisis may be any situation which places stress on a parent. The Crisis Nursery Program supports that being a parent is a difficult job, and that every parent needs help at times. Some families do not have any resources to call on for that help. Crisis Nursery can be a resource for that family.

Crisis situations can be different for each parent. Some examples of reasons to access Crisis Nursery include:

  • Child abuse or neglect prevention
  • Family violence
  • Crisis Intervention
  • Medical necessity of the parent/child
  • Emotional exhaustion of the parent
  • Chemical abuse treatment
  • Housing/Financial crisis

To use the Crisis Nursery Services, parents, who are residents of Sherburne County, can call the Crisis Nursery Monday through Friday between 8:00am to 4:30pm at 763-765-4000
