Bethlehem Holy Child Program

Bethlehem Holy Child Program We offer a therapeutic alternative education for children in Bethlehem with untreated mental health issues and exposure to intergenerational trauma.

The Holy Child Program is entirely dependent upon donations for annual operating costs. None of the families being served are able to pay full tuition. The intense nature of services being provided necessitates a high child to staff ratio. Since it is the only program in the region which serves this population, it is imperative that the Holy Child Program continue. The Holy Child Program envisions expanding services through collaborative partnerships with local providers to increase the range of services being offered. Additionally, the program can provide a unique training center where local and international professionals can together learn and develop programs which help heal and strengthen the children and families of this region.

OLIVE HARVEST TIME IS HERE!

We're thrilled to share that our students at Holy Child Program have been busy harvesting olives from our very own trees! This ancient tradition is a beloved part of our region's heritage, and we're so proud of our students for getting their hands dirty and connecting with their roots.

As they worked together to pick the olives, they learned about the importance of hard work, community, and preserving traditions that date back thousands of years. And let's be real, it was also a ton of fun!

New beginnings are in full swing here at HCP! 🎉 Our children are diving back into the school routine, and it's been amazing to see them thrive in our playground and classrooms. 🤸‍♀️🌟

As they participate in group games and activities, they're not only having a blast but also learning valuable skills like cooperation, socialization, and self-regulation. 🤝 Our teachers are gathering essential insights by observing their behaviors, helping us tailor our approach to meet each child's unique needs.

This year marks a new chapter for HCP as we settle into our permanent home after 27 years! 🏠 We're thrilled to welcome 17 new students to our community, bringing our total enrollment to 35 students. We're full to capacity, and it's a testament to the success of our programs that so many families want to be a part of our community. 🙏

We're grateful for this opportunity to grow and serve our students. Here's to a fantastic year ahead! 🌈 🙌

✨ We Bought Our Building- Beginning of a New Era & New School Year!

✨Donors world-wide helped us reach our goal!

✨For the first time ever, the Holy Child Program’s students, teachers, and staff began the school year walking into a permanent home for our mission of “Hope through Healing.” Since 2000, we have rented a building in Beit Sahour from a private family slowly transforming it over the years. With great care and vision, our staff developed the building and surrounding land to create a nurturing and healing environment for our students and their families.

✨This acquisition marks more than just a legal transaction. It begins a new era of expanded service, deeper healing, and greater outreach to the children and families in the Holy Land region.

💖To everyone who has stood with us—through your encouragement, generosity, and faithful support—thank you. This permanent home is a living testament to your belief in our mission, and your love for the children of this land. With joyful hearts and profound gratitude, we move forward together—rooted in hope and strengthened by faith.
