Your whole family benefits from your child’s experience!
Can you imagine having happier, healthier kids? A more harmonious family? For 36 years, Kids in the Spotlight has been bringing this dream to life. We offer delightful, innovative, science-backed, and developmentally informed experiences to children, youth and their families using the performing arts as a vehicle. Music, dance, drama and above all comedy fuel awe-inspiring growth for our groups of mixed-age participants. KITS helps the shy to become self-confident, the anxious to become self-soothing, and the conflict-prone to become collaborative. KITS’ programs provide a safe space for children and youth to determine for themselves which steps they need to take going forward. And when they take those steps, the results are extraordinary.
When we help kids to figure out what steps they need to take to go forward in their lives, powerful healing and learning occurs.

LAUNCH: Youth Leadership
LAUNCH is a powerful mixed-age leadership development process that begins with connection, group bonding and dynamic learning. Trained youth leaders guide and support a journey to learn leadership skills that can be used in all areas of life. By acting as coaches for KITS participants, they apply their leadership training while learning about their own development as they prepare to generalize valuable leadership concepts to other settings in their lives.
