At Kapstone Kids, we love & care for the youth, respect each individual youth, provide a safe & pleasant facility where the youth can heal, play and learn, as well as help the youth learn self-discipline, strengthen their self-confidence, and give them opportunities to achieve & be creative. Kapstone Kids believes that development is holistic. Meaning, that as children develop in one learning domain, the other domains (spiritual, physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language) are closely related in their development.
