Welcome to Skylight Children's Care Homes
At Skylight Children's Care Homes, we provide exceptional care for young people aged 8 up to 18, offering compassionate, attuned, and playfully engaging support. Rooted in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), therapeutic parenting, and the PACE model (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy), our approach fosters deep connections and emotional security. We create physically and psychologically safe environments where every young person is valued, understood, and empowered to thrive.
