Womb to Warrior

The Womb to Warrior model starts with our belief that every child deserves a foundation of safety, love, and opportunity—regardless of the circumstances of their birth.

Our approach is both responsive and proactive, including tools to overcome the past and equip for the future.

Our Approach

We provide trauma-responsive, adoptive family-style care with the following commitments:

Every child is worthy of healing, dignity, and a future of flourishing.

Healing happens through safe, predictable relationships built on trust.

We take a whole-child, whole-life approach—mind, body, heart, and spirit.

We help girls reclaim their stories and rise into their full potential.

Caregivers are highly trained and deeply invested in every girl’s journey.

Belonging is lifelong—once she is part of our family, she is always part of our family.

She is a sister among sisters, sharing a strong and loving bond for life.

She becomes a mentor for those who follow in her footsteps.

Maternal & Newborn Care

(Age 0-2 at MNC Centers)

A child’s trauma begins in the womb. Many of the children who come into our care are born into high-risk environments, where their mothers face extreme poverty, abuse, exploitation, and trauma. Without intervention, both mother and child are trapped in a cycle that repeats for generations.

Our MNC Centers provide:

Prenatal care and medical support to ensure healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.

Emotional and psychological support for mothers who have experienced trauma and violence.

Education on newborn care and parenting, empowering mothers to envision a brighter future for their child.

A safe, nurturing place for mothers and newborns to bond, recover, and receive the support they need.

Whenever possible, we work to strengthen and preserve family connections, helping mothers make informed, empowered choices for their children. When needed, we provide full-time care for newborns and infants, ensuring they experience love, security, and stability from the very beginning of life.

Early Childhood Care

(Age 2-5 at ECC Centers)

The first five years of life are critical in shaping a child’s cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Without early intervention, trauma and neglect can have lifelong consequences. That is why our Early Childhood Care Centers provides comprehensive, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care in a safe and enriching family-style environment.

Through our Early Childhood program young children receive:

24-hour care, security, and stability, ensuring they feel safe and loved.

Nutritious meals and healthcare, supporting healthy physical development.

Research-based early learning programs develop academic capacities, social skills, and emotional regulation.

Loving caregivers who build strong, secure attachments, laying the foundation for lifelong resilience.

By the time children are old enough to leave our Early Childhood Care Centers, they will have all they need to be successful in school, whether they attend one of our excellent local partner schools or our K-12 Residential School, Cornerstone Leadership Academy.

K-12 Residential Care & Education

(Age 6-18 at Our Residential School)

Cornerstone Leadership Academy (CLA), our K-12 Residential School, is designed to provide the highest standard of academic excellence, combined with trauma-responsive care and adoptive family-style support. Surrounded by a caring family, children are empowered through education to break cycles of poverty, exploitation, and oppression.

At Our Residential School, each girl receives:

A personalized holistic healing and education plan, guiding her through healing, identity formation, and personal growth.

A world-class education, preparing her to compete at the highest academic levels, including STEM, humanities, leadership development, arts, and athletics.

A nurturing, family-style home, where she lives with sisters and dedicated house mothers.

1:1 and small group therapies with a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating complex trauma.

Throughout her K-12 residential education, each girl is empowered to step into her story—not as a victim of her past, but as an agent of her future. She is given leadership opportunities, mentorship, and life skills coaching, ensuring she is prepared for university, career, and a life of purpose.
