About Us
Heritage Children Services was founded in 2016 with a vision to create a safe haven for children by finding a "Home With Heart" for every child in need.
Heritage Children Services has grown from a small community initiative into one of the leading providers of foster care services in Central Kentucky.
Our journey began over a decade ago, driven by a passion for making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
Throughout the years, we have expanded our operations starting from a single office in Campbellsville and expanding to offices in Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Owensboro, and Somerset. We have strengthened our partnerships with child welfare agencies, always maintaining our focus on quality care and support.
Our CARF accreditation is a testament to our dedication to excellence and our commitment to upholding the highest standards in the industry.
