About Us
We offer a unique care model to help children grow up healthy, strong, and loved.
We are honored to care for God's most precious gift
We believe children are a gift from God, and we want to help them grow into successful adults! We take immense pride in our unique approach to providing long-term residential care. Tipton Children's Home is dedicated to providing a loving, stable, and Christian environment for children, building on the solid foundation laid over a century ago.
We do things a little differently!
Our home offers a compassionate and consistent environment where children are cared for by loving house parents. This stability helps foster a sense of security and belonging for every child. Our facility is unique because we take boys and girls, and we have caring housparents that ensure each child gets everything they need. We go beyond the physical needs and help each child develop socially, emotionally, and spiritually so they can thrive when they one day leave our care.
Our Campus
At Tipton Children’s Home, we understand that choosing the right place for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Our campus in southwest Oklahoma is more than just a place to live—it’s a community where children can grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. We have a beautiful, safe campus with exciting amenities such as a playground, storm shelters and more.
Our House Parents
At Tipton Children's Home, our house parents are the cornerstone of our nurturing environment. These dedicated individuals live on-site, providing full-time care and support to the children in their cottages. With backgrounds in education, social work, and childcare, our house parents are fully equipped to meet the diverse needs of our children. Their commitment goes beyond providing primary care; they foster a loving, stable, and supportive home where children can grow and thrive. Our house parents are indeed the hands and feet of Jesus, embodying our mission to raise healthy, productive adults.
Our Rich History
Tipton Children's Home began in 1921 in Canada, Texas, when Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Beach took in four children after their mother's death. With support from the local church, the home quickly expanded. By 1923, they had 72 children and needed a larger facility. Sol and Maggie Tipton donated eighty acres to Tipton, Oklahoma, and the home was relocated there in 1924.
The new location provided a spacious and nurturing environment. Over the years, the facility grew to include dormitories, classrooms, and other essential amenities. Governed by the elders of the Tipton Church of Christ, the home continued to flourish. By 1927, it housed 220 children, many attending the local public school.
Today, Tipton Children's Home remains dedicated to providing a loving, stable, and Christian environment for needy children, building on the solid foundation laid over a century ago.
