Kapstone Kids Capital Project is geared toward a privately run, holistic, safe, nurturing, warm and creative educational home-like environment for at-risk, abused, abandoned, orphaned and homeless youth. Youth can range from preschool ages thru 18 years old.
At Kapstone Kids encourages today's youth to participate in the world around them while supporting freedom of expression through exploration, examination, and communication in our multiple learning corners. Kapstone Kids values the richness of languages, cultures, faith, & diversity. Kapstone Kids focuses on first rate professional caregivers who understand the importance of their job, understand & value the youth in their care, & are able to create a positive social & emotional environment where youth are valued & respected. 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.
