Rhode Island Advocacy for Children

Where everybody is Somebody' is a common daily phrase if you visit us at Waterford Country School - this is a very special place. Every day we do "whatever it takes" to help children and families in need. Through residential programs, family-based programs, education programs and community support programs, we offer a diverse range of services to children of all ages. Our kids are the reason we exist.
