Looking for more than just a place to live?

Marland’s Place has on-campus housing available at a reduced rental rate for foster parents. The home offers three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large fenced-in yard, and access to our gym and community pavilion.

Beyond the affordable rent and on-campus amenities, you’ll be part of a supportive community with people who understand the foster care journey.

If you are a foster parent or are considering becoming one, call us at 580-762-4156 to learn more or schedule a tour.

We had another great foster family training! 💜

A big thank you to Jaque from GRAND Mental Health and Kaitlin from DHS for teaching our families practical ways to handle challenging behaviors and navigate those tough moments with foster kiddos.

While the parents were learning, we had a great time with the kids playing in our beautiful gym, painting rocks, and watching Toy Story 5!

And thank you to Domino’s for sponsoring lunch for all our families. We’re so grateful for community partners who help make days like this possible! 🍕

We’re adding to our team! 🎉

We’re looking for our next Family Specialist! This role works directly with foster families, walking alongside them, supporting them, and helping make sure they have what they need to care for the children in their home.

And while the work itself is pretty special, there are a lot of reasons we think Marland’s Place is a pretty great place to work, too.

One of our favorite things about Marland’s Place is the team behind the work. We’re small, close-knit, family-friendly, and big believers in having a healthy balance between work and home. We work hard, support each other, and have a lot of fun along the way.

If you’re looking for meaningful work AND a place where you’ll genuinely enjoy coming to work, we’d love to meet you!

Marland's Place is the only local foster placement agency in Kay County, Oklahoma. We recruit and train foster parents as well as facilitate the transition of children into foster care.

With schools starting back up this week, we wanted to give a big thank you to Stuteville Ford Lincoln of Ponca City for helping make sure our kiddos were ready! 🎒✏️📚

They stopped by with backpacks for the children and families we serve, and we are so thankful for their generosity and for thinking of our kids during such a busy time of year.

Thank you, Stuteville, for helping our kiddos head back to school ready for a great year! 💛
