What is this company? Board of who?

We would agree with you that our name is not the greatest and we hope to change it in the near future! The 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. This internship is based out of BCC's organizational headquarters in Milford Mill, Maryland.
