                     CHILDREN'S COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES, INC.

                             805 South Church Street
                          Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37130

                                 PROXY STATEMENT

                                 --------------

         The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of
Children's Comprehensive Services, Inc. (the "Company ") for use at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on November 12, 1997,
at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of the Company, and any adjournments
thereof, notice of which is attached hereto.

         This Proxy Statement and the Company's Annual Report to shareholders
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 (the "Annual Report") have been mailed
on or about October 17, 1997, to all shareholders of record on September 26,
1997.

         The purposes of the Annual Meeting are: to elect six directors; to
consider a proposal to approve the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan; to
ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent auditors
for the next fiscal year; and to transact such other business as may properly be
brought before the meeting.

         A shareholder who signs and returns a proxy in the accompanying form
may revoke it at any time before the shares subject to it are voted by attending
the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person, by filing with the Secretary
of the Company a written revocation or by duly executing a proxy bearing a later
date. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at
the Annual Meeting. Where a choice is specified on the proxy, the shares
represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specifications. If no
specification is made, such shares will be voted FOR the election of all
director nominees, FOR approval of the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and
FOR the approval of Ernst & Young LLP.

         The Board of Directors knows of no other matters which are to be
brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter does come
before the meeting, the persons appointed in the proxy or their substitutes will
vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

         The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company,
including expenses in connection with preparing, assembling and mailing this
Proxy Statement. Such solicitation will be made by mail, and also may be made by
the Company's regular officers or employees personally or by telephone or
telegram. The Company does not anticipate paying any compensation to any party
other than its regular employees for the solicitation of proxies, but may
reimburse brokers, custodians and nominees for their expenses in sending proxies
and proxy material to beneficial owners.

         In March 1997, the Company's Board of Directors voted to change the
fiscal year end from March 31 to June 30, effective with the three month period
ended June 30, 1996. Accordingly, all references herein to the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997 or fiscal 1997 are references to the twelve-month period ended
June 30, 1997.

                    VOTING STOCK OUTSTANDING AND SHAREHOLDERS

         The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on September 26,
1997 as the record date for the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). The
Company's only outstanding class of securities is its Common Stock. On the
Record Date, the Company had outstanding 7,815,008 shares of Common Stock. Only
shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders will be entitled to one
vote for each share of Common Stock so held, which may be given in person or by
proxy authorized in writing.



                                        1

<PAGE>   4



                                     VOTING

         The holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy,
will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. An affirmative vote of
a plurality of the shares represented and voting in person or by proxy at the
meeting is required for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares represented and entitled to vote is required for approval
of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the
shares represented and voting is required for ratification of the Company's
selection of independent auditors and all other business as may properly come
before the meeting or any adjournments thereof.

           Under applicable securities laws, Tennessee law and the Restated
Charter and Bylaws, an abstention or withholding of authority to vote will have
no effect on the election of directors or the ratification of the Company's
selection of independent auditors, since each of these matters is determined by
the number of votes cast. With regard to such matters, however, shares
represented at the meeting by proxies containing instructions to abstain, or
withholding authority to vote, will nonetheless be counted as present for
purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. An abstention or withholding of
authority to vote will have the effect of a vote against approval of the 1997
Stock Incentive Plan, because the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present or represented and voting will be required to approve such matter. If
the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is approved by a majority of the voting power of
the Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote (counting each
abstention or withholding of authority to vote as a vote against the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan), the approval of the plan will also constitute approval for
purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

         A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares registered in a
street name is permitted to vote, in the broker's discretion, on routine matters
without receiving instructions from the client, but is not permitted to vote
without instructions on non-routine matters, and the broker returns a proxy card
with no vote (the "non-vote") on the non-routine matter. Only the proposal to
approve the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan is deemed to be a non-routine matter.
Under Tennessee law and the Company's Charter and Bylaws, broker non-votes will
have no impact on the election of directors or the ratification of the Company's
selection of independent accountants, but will have the effect of a vote against
the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Shares represented by a proxy card marked with a
non-vote will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of
a quorum.

                        PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         Directors are elected each year to hold office until the next Annual
Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. The Company's Bylaws provide for a minimum of three (3) and a maximum
of fifteen (15) directors, the exact number to be set by the Board of Directors.
The current Board of Directors consists of six (6) members, all of whom are
nominees to be elected as directors at the Annual Meeting. Unless contrary
instructions are received, shares represented by proxies will be voted in favor
of the election as directors of all the nominees named below. If for any reason
any of such nominees is unable to serve, the persons voting the proxy have
advised the Company that they will vote for such substitute nominees as the
Board of Directors of the Company may propose. The Board of Directors has no
reason to expect that any of these nominees will be unable to be candidates at
the Annual Meeting, and therefore, does not at this time have any substitute
nominees under consideration. The information relating to the six nominees set
forth below has been furnished to the Company by the individuals named.

         The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the
election by holders of the Common Stock represented and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE
NOMINEES LISTED BELOW.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

         The Company's non-employee directors receive an annual retainer of
$4,000 and reimbursement for expenses. In addition, the Company has adopted the
1989 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors, as amended, pursuant to which
each non-employee director of the Company receives an automatic annual stock
option grant to purchase 3,750 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price per
share equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
The Company's Board of Directors has approved the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan,
subject to approval by the Company's shareholders. See "Proposal 2: Approval of
1997 Stock Incentive Plan." Under the provisions of the 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan, the Company's non-employee directors would each receive an automatic
annual stock option grant to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
grant. If such plan is approved by the Company's shareholders at the Annual
Meeting, no further stock options will be awarded under the 1989 Stock Option
Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The Board of Directors may, in the future,
adjust the compensation of directors as it deems advisable and consistent with
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and the financial
abilities of the Company.

REPORTS OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP UNDER SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         Pursuant to rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, the Company's directors, executive officers and any person
holding more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock are required to report
their ownership of the Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to the
SEC. These persons also are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company
with copies of these reports. Specific due dates for these reports have been
established and the Company is required to report any failure to file by these
dates. Based solely on a review of the reports furnished to the Company and
written representations from the Company's directors and executive officers, the
Company believes that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by the
Company's directors, executive officers and ten percent (10%) holders during the
1997 fiscal year, with the exception of the filing of a Form 5 on behalf of each
executive officer within 45 days after June 30, 1997, reflecting the award on
May 14, 1997 of options to purchase an aggregate of 114,000 shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the 1987 Employee Stock Option Plan. These option awards will

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

         The Compensation Committee is responsible for review and approval of
the Company's executive compensation policies and administers the Company's
stock incentive plans. See "Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors."
The Company's executive compensation policies are designed to provide
competitive levels of compensation, while integrating total compensation with
Company performance. Accordingly, the Company's executive compensation program
has three primary components: base salary, annual bonus, and stock option
awards.

         The Compensation Committee approves salary and bonus ranges. Bonus
awards are tied directly to the achievement of specified operating results. The
specific criteria for awarding bonuses and the amounts of such bonuses are
determined by the Compensation Committee, and are based on the attainment of
targeted levels of earnings. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the
Company exceeded the targeted level of earnings and, consequently, the executive
officers of the Company received performance bonuses which aggregated $361,025.

         The Compensation Committee believes that stock options are an excellent
means for compensating employees because options tend to reward their holders
for long-term market performance of the Common Stock. The Company generally
grants options with exercise prices equal to the market price on the date of the
grant and the options are exercisable over a ten-year period. In the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997, the Company granted an aggregate of 149,000 stock options
to executive officers in recognition of their prior service to the Company and
as an incentive to such officers to more closely align their interests with the
Company's shareholders and promote the Company's long-term success.

         The Company's Chief Executive Officer, William J Ballard, does not have
an employment agreement with the Company; however, the Company's employment
relationship with Mr. Ballard is reviewed annually. The Compensation Committee
believes that Mr. Ballard's base salary of $200,000 is competitive with the base
salary of other chief executive officers of comparably sized companies. Mr.
Ballard is also eligible for an incentive bonus based on the Company's operating
performance in fiscal 1998. The specific criteria for the awarding of such bonus
is approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee believes
that the compensation package offered to Mr. Ballard is appropriate in relation
to compensation packages for similarly situated officers of publicly held
companies, especially in light of the record financial performance of the
Company in fiscal 1997 and the consummation of the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of Vendell Healthcare, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

         The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to take into
account the $1,000,000 limit on the deductibility of executive compensation for
federal income tax purposes enacted as part of the 1993 Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act ("OBRA") and to seek to qualify the Company's long-term
compensation awards as performance-based compensation excluded from the
$1,000,000 limit. Because the Company is in no immediate danger of losing any
deduction, the Company has not yet taken any action to qualify its stock
incentive plans as performance-based compensation.

         The tables set forth under "Executive Compensation" and the
accompanying narrative and footnotes reflect the decisions covered by the above
discussion.

                PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF 1997 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

         The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was approved by the
Company's Board of Directors as of June 3, 1997, subject to approval by the
Company's shareholders. The Plan's purpose is similar to the purposes of the
1987 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1989 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee
Directors, both of which are replaced by the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to
attract, retain and reward key employees of and consultants to the Company and
its subsidiaries and affiliates, and directors who are not also employees of the
Company, and to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such key
employees, consultants, and directors by awarding such key employees,
consultants and directors performance-based stock incentives and/or other equity
interests or equity-based incentives in the Company, as well as
performance-based incentives payable in cash. Approximately 100 key employees,
consultants and directors will be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan
will be administered by a committee (the "Committee") of not less than two
directors who are not officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company ("Outside Directors"), which Committee will initially
be the Compensation Committee. On June 3, 1997 and August 13, 1997, the Board of
Directors granted options to purchase 65,000 and 10,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively, under the Plan, subject to shareholder approval of the Plan.

OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

         The Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase up to 1,000,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company, 150,000 of which are reserved for
issuance to Outside Directors. The number of shares of Common Stock authorized
under the Plan will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
events (including merger, reorganization, stock dividend and the like) to
prevent dilution or enlargement of option rights. The types of options that may
be granted under the Plan include Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) and
Non-Qualified Stock Options (those options that are not entitled to the
advantages under federal income tax laws that are afforded to Incentive Stock
Options). Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to individuals who are
employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The Plan also
authorizes the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and
other stock-based awards such as performance shares and exchangeable securities.

OPTION PRICE

         The option price will be determined by the Committee at the time of
grant, and will be at least 100% (or, for employees owning stock possessing over
10% of the total voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any
subsidiary, at least 110%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the
date of grant, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, and at least 50% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant in the case of
Non-Qualified Stock Options. In the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options granted
to Outside Directors, the option price will equal the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant. As determined by the Committee, the option
price may be paid in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock already
owned by the optionee or, in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option,
restricted shares of Common Stock or shares subject to such option or another
award under the Plan (in each case valued at the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date the option is exercised). To the extent that the option price
is paid with unrestricted shares of Common Stock, the Committee may award a new
stock option to the employee to replace the Common Stock that was surrendered.
To the extent that the option price is paid with restricted shares of Common
Stock, such restricted shares will remain restricted in accordance with the
original terms of the restricted stock award in question, and any additional
Common Stock received upon exercise will be subject to the same forfeiture
restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

DURATION AND EXERCISABILITY

          The term of each option will be fixed by the Committee, but no
Incentive Stock Option will be exercisable for more than ten years (or, with
respect to those granted to employees owning stock possessing over 10% of the
total voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary,
more than five years) after the date of grant. Generally, no option will be
exercisable before the first anniversary of the date of grant with the exception
of Outside Director stock options, which will become exercisable six months
after the date of grant.




                                       14

<PAGE>   17



AWARDS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS

         Under the Plan, on the date of each annual meeting of the Company's
shareholders, each Outside Director will be entitled to receive an automatic
grant of a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock.
The terms and conditions of any awards to Outside Directors will be determined
by the Board of Directors as the Committee will have no authority to make such
determination. Each option will become exercisable six months after the date of
grant and, if unexercised, will expire ten years from the date of grant.

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

         In the event of a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control of
the Company, any option or other stock-based award awarded under the Plan but
not previously exercisable and vested will become fully exercisable and vested,
and all outstanding options will be cashed out. The cash-out price for
Non-Qualified Stock Options and other stock-based awards (except as provided
below) will generally be based on the highest price per share paid in any
Nasdaq-reported trade or any bona fide transaction related to the Change in
Control or Potential Change in Control, in each case as determined by the
Committee. The cash-out price of Incentive Stock Options and related stock
appreciation rights will be based on transactions reported for the date on which
the optionee exercised such option.

         A "Change in Control" generally will arise (i) when a person or entity
becomes the beneficial owner of securities possessing 35% or more of the voting
power of the Company's outstanding securities, (ii) when, as the result of a
cash tender or exchange offer, less than a majority of the voting power of the
Company's outstanding securities is held by persons who held such securities
immediately prior to the tender or exchange offer, or (iii) during any period of
two consecutive years, directors who at the beginning of such period constituted
the Board of Directors no longer constitute at least a majority thereof, unless
the new directors were approved by at least two-thirds of the directors of the
Company then in office. A "Potential Change in Control" generally means (i) the
approval by the shareholders of any agreement, the consummation of which would
result in a Change in Control or (ii) the acquisition of beneficial ownership of
securities of the Company representing 5% or more of the voting power of the
Company's outstanding securities and the adoption of a resolution by the
Committee to the effect that a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         Under the Plan, the Company may grant both Incentive Stock Options
intended to qualify as such under Section 422 of the Code and Non-Qualified
Stock Options. No income is recognized by the optionee at the time of grant of
an option under the Plan. In addition, there are no federal income tax
consequences to the Company upon the grant of an option to an optionee.

         Incentive Stock Options. An optionee who exercises an Incentive Stock
Option generally is not taxed at the time he exercises such option. Instead,
when an optionee sells Common Stock purchased pursuant to an Incentive Stock
Option, he is taxed on the difference between the exercise price and the amount
for which he sells the Common Stock. The character of the income recognized by
the optionee (e.g. capital gain or ordinary income) depends upon the amount of
time the Incentive Stock Option is held prior to the sale. If the Common Stock
is not sold prior to the later of two years from the date the option is granted
or one year from the date it is exercised, the entire gain is taxed as a capital
gain (the Company may not take a corresponding compensation expense deduction).
If this Common Stock is sold prior to such time, the difference between the
exercise price and the lesser of (a) the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise or (b) the amount for which it is sold, is taxed as
ordinary income (and the Company is entitled to a corresponding deduction). If
the Common Stock is sold for an amount in excess of its fair market value on the
date of exercise, the excess is taxed as capital gain.

         Non-Qualified Stock Options. Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option, the amount by which the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
exercise date exceeds the exercise price will generally be taxable to the
optionee as ordinary income, and that amount will be included in the optionee's
Form W-2 and, accordingly, will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and
any appropriate state tax authorities as additional income earned by the
optionee. (The Company will generally be entitled to a compensation expense
deduction upon the exercise of such an option in an amount equal to the
compensation received by the optionee as ordinary income; the deduction is
allowed to the Company in the same taxable year in which the income is included
by the optionee.)


                                       15

<PAGE>   18


      The sale of shares acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option may result in capital gain or loss, as the case may be, in an amount
equal to the difference between the amount realized upon such sale and the
optionee's tax basis in the shares. If payment of the option exercise price is
made by cash or check, the tax basis of the shares of Common Stock will be equal
to the fair market value on the date of exercise, but not less than the option
exercise price. The holding period for determining long or short term capital
gain for the Common Stock will begin on the day after the shares are acquired
pursuant to the exercise of the option.

CASH BONUS
       In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or certain Incentive Stock
Options, the Committee may award the optionee the right to receive a cash bonus
calculated to pay federal and state income tax incurred by the optionee upon
exercise thereof.

      The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
present and entitled to vote thereon is required for approval of the 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL 2.

               PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

      The Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent
auditors of the Company for the 1998 fiscal year, subject to approval by the
shareholders. Ernst & Young LLP has served as the Company's independent auditors
since its inception in July 1985. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is
expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a
statement if such representative so desires, and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions.

      The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock
present and voting thereon is required for adoption of this proposal.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL 3.

                            PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS
