Noyes Home for Children Virtual Tour

The Noyes Home helps to heal whole families by caring for children and giving parents the time and support they need to solve life’s challenges. Some families are facing emergencies like homelessness or serious illness of a parent; others have children who are awaiting a foster placement, or children who are unable to perform successfully at home and school and need a fresh start.


The children that come to the Noyes Homes are primarily from St. Joseph and the surrounding area. However, the home does serve children from northwest Missouri and beyond. The Noyes Home is currently licensed for 45 children within the age range of 0-18. School-age children are enrolled and attend school in the St. Joseph School District. We strive to keep the children at their school of origin.
