The Work We Do. The People We Serve.

Thompson has evolved into a leading provider of effective clinical and behavioral treatment, development education and proactive care for at-risk children and families. Relationship-based philosophy guides all programs, emphasizing the value of one-on-one connections for children, families and our community. We are nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA).

The Thompson Saint Peter's Lane campus in Matthews provides an array of services including intense clinical residential treatment; day treatment programs that combine strong therapeutic intervention with individualized classroom academics; off-site, specialized treatment and support for families experiencing attachment disorder issues; and foster/adoptive placements.

The agency's early childhood center in North Charlotte, Thompson Child Development Center, provides developmental and preventive programming for young children and their families through a variety of educational and therapeutic resources. The Center is five-star state licensed and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Using the Child Development Center as a best practice model, the Thompson Early Childhood Outreach program mentors more than 200 early childhood centers in Mecklenburg, Union and Cabarrus counties in North Carolina and Chesterfield County in South Carolina.
