About Us 

THE KING’S RANCH STORY

King’s Ranch started as a children’s home in 2007, licensed as a long term residential childcare facility through the State of Arkansas. Through our journey as a children’s home, we found a great need for a lasting solution to the child abuse problem and the trauma it causes in our world. Rather than functioning as a long-term residential solution to abused and traumatized children, we wanted to provide help and healing so these children could stay in their forever homes and thrive in a family. We now provide long term restoration by equipping and supporting families to help their children heal.

We provide wrap-around support for families helping children heal from trauma. We also provide education, parent coaching, respite care, and community support.
