One Safe Place at Clayton CDC, Fort Worth

Clayton is proud to be a founding partner in One Safe Place, Tarrant County’s one stop resource for domestic violence victims seeking to escape abusive relationships. Taking the first steps to leave a violent relationship can be frightening and confusing – One Safe Place brings together nonprofits and law enforcement in one secure building to ease the victim’s journey and ensure access to services. Clayton plays an important role at One Safe Place by offering professional, secure onsite child care that is available at no charge to clients who are meeting with counselors, law enforcement or obtaining other services at One Safe Place. Child care is also provided for victim’s court appearances or medical appointments. Clayton’s staff at One Safe Place is trained to work with young children who have experienced violence in their homes and they are committed to providing a supportive environment for children during this stressful time in their lives. The Clayton Child Development Center at One Safe Place also offers full-day care and pre-school activities for children of our One Safe Place partners and from the local community. Clayton staff engages children ranging from infants through pre-school in age-appropriate learning provided by the highly respected Frog Street Curriculum. In addition to providing a safe, nurturing environment, our goal is to partner with parents so that every child is “kindergarten ready” when they graduate from our program.
