What is this company? Board of who?

We would agree with you our name is not the greatest and we hope to change it in the very near future! Board of Child Care is not a federal or state agency. It is an independent not-for-profit organization that is focused on serving children and their families. It has evolved and adapted from orphanages opened 140+ years ago to being a leader in providing high-quality behavioral health, educational, and residential services across the Mid-Atlantic. BCC as a whole has approximately 700 employees, an annual budget of about $55 million, and the majority of its employees are in MD, WV, PA, and DC.

What is the Strawbridge School?
