StepStone Family & Youth Services (formerly A Place to Call Home) helps find loving and nurturing homes for children in foster care throughout Arizona. All children deserve a loving, family home that helps them feel safe.
We license families and individuals to care for children that have been removed from their homes due to a number of different reasons, including abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We also license families and individuals to care for children and adults with disabilities. StepStone Family & Youth Services is a culturally aware agency that licenses families to care for children from Tribal Communities.
Kids In Focus provides all-inclusive diagnostic and stabilization services to determine the most beneficial treatment strategy for young people.
StepStone foster care believes in offering a caring place for children and youth, no matter their needs or challenges. Some of the children we serve have different intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities. Most are typically developing kids in need of a safer, more stable living environment. We specialize in matching the children we serve with dedicated and caring foster families.

A very very awful Agency The agency it’s very disorganized calls way too many ISP meeting’s
The licensing supervisor from the Mesa office Wendy Carrillo is very rude obnoxious and condescending when I was with the agency The agency had let the developmental home provider evict me Audrey Dotson is The worst she runs the agency For Maricopa County it seems like they don’t know or have a clue of what they are doing The agency like to break the American disabilities act and likes to also Break the state rules and laws I would not recommend them to no one :(

APTCH has had 65 adoptions this year so far! That is an incredible success rate. The staff are very professional and definitely know what they are doing, they had systems down pat. APTCH is hiring and expanding, they are now a part of Rescare which is a huge company with many different departments including group homes, pharmacies, ADH, Foster care, home care etc... Very impressed with this company!
