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.

I'd highly advised anyone interested in foster care or adoption to stay far away from this agency. There is a supervisor by the name of Sarah Meston. She is very condescending and will treat you like a 3rd class citizen over the phone. Work with perhaps AASK instead =)

I work for College Hunks Moving and that is what I did for them. The people were very nice.
