Respite Care =  People who are approved to provide respite care temporarily help with children in foster care, offering relief to foster parents who need time to themselves or have an emergency situation.

The overarching mission of Kids Cove is clear: to make a positive impact on the lives of foster families by offering much-needed support and care. The organization understands the challenges faced by foster parents and aims to address those challenges effectively.

In line with this mission, Kids Cove goes beyond traditional respite care. It recognizes the importance of allowing foster parents to take a break for their own well-being. To meet this goal, Kids Cove offers a week of care every month, providing parents with the opportunity to rest and engage in self-care. Additionally, the organization understands the significance of fostering connections within families, both biological and foster.

To further support parents, Kids Cove introduces a unique initiative—date nights. These regular evenings provide parents with the chance to enjoy a night out while leaving both biological and foster children in a safe and caring environment. By offering this comprehensive support, Kids Cove is committed to ensuring that each family receives the rest and self-care they need. In essence, Kids Cove is here to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of foster families in the Lake of the Ozarks area.
