How was your rare TWOSday? Our staff found ways to make it fun.
Aggie Campus Employee of the Month is Maggie Ivie. Maggie has been a bus rider for her bus driver husband, Brad, since 2017. These two are an amazing team. They always have the clients and students singing and interacting on the bus. They go out of their way to buy things for the kiddos, they are always available for field trips, and the clients adore them. Maggie is an exceptional employee. Maggie has not missed a single day of work since she has been with TLC; and she keeps Brad in line.

Thank you Maggie for being such a great employee!
Happy Presidents Day from Mrs. Valina’s classes.
Not only is stacking blocks beneficial for hand eye coordination, but it is one of the earliest forms of mathematics.
Our Babies enjoyed some sensory play time in their baby ball pit this week. ❤️ They loved it!
The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) employee of the month is Lexi Davis Casey.

Lexi began working as a preschool technician in September of 2018.
Lexi voluntarily took on the roll of implementing the STAR (Strategies of Teaching children with Autism based on Research) ABA program in the classroom
with children that had a diagnosis of autism or that demonstrated characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Lexi demonstrated excellent understanding of
behavior principles. Once TLC began implementing an ABA program within the preschool, Lexi was asked to accept a position as a Behavior Technician.

In the Fall of 2021, Lexi completed all the requirements to become a Registered Behavior Technician. With her knowledge of the field, her rapport with children
and excellent work ethic, Lexi is an asset to our ABA program.

Congratulations to Lexi for being chosen the Employee of the Month.
Valentine’s Day fun last week in Mrs. Valina’s class.

Wondering how to encourage speech development with your kids at home?

Here are some recommendations 💬

Birth to 2 years
👶 When your baby makes faces, make the same faces back
👉 Point out colors and shapes, describe what you're doing as you get your baby dressed, make their food, etc.

2 - 4 years
❓Ask silly questions like ""can our puppy fly?"" and try to encourage them to ask you silly questions
🖼️Show them pictures of people in your family, friends, and describe who's in the photo and what's happening

4 - 6 years
🍎 put things in categories and ask your child which doesn't belong and why
🎥 watch a movie together and ask your child to tell you what's happening

What's your child's favorite thing to talk to you about? 👇

Another United Way Day of Caring in the books! TLC is blessed every year with some of the best volunteers. This year students from the Nettleton High School EAST Program helped built and create items for our Natural Playground Area. All of them worked so hard! Our kids were excited to play on the new playground already this afternoon.

Firefighter Brent Deckard also helped the students today with the project, Thank You Brent for volunteering your time to help.

We also want to thank the Bayer Crop Science Volunteers who helped with some landscape projects at our David Puryear Center. The front entrance looks amazing!

Thank you United Way for this amazing day!

“Reed was born at 26 weeks weighing 2 lb 4 oz. He spent his first 3 months in the NICU. We had no idea what the quality of his life would look like and what delays he might have as he developed. Early Intervention is KEY! A good friend, Cindy Vanhorn, was instrumental in getting Reed started in physical therapy as soon as we brought him home. Hannah Logan began helping us with feeding struggles.

Today, Reed is 2 years old. He runs and plays just like his peers. He talks and sings all the time! We are so thankful for TLC, the therapist, and classroom teachers that have loved Reed and helped him through so much! We have been so blessed by them.”

The team at TLC loves being able to work with Reed!

Children are constantly learning through their senses. Getting your child outside is an easy way to encourage sensory building activities. Which sensory-building outdoor activity is your child’s favorite?

☀️Playing and exploring in the dirt
☀️Building sand castles
☀️Water play in pools or water tables
☀️Collecting rocks

As your littles head back to school and join us here at TLC, you may notice some new behaviors and reactions 🍎

All kids have attachment to their primary caregivers and the different styles become evident during adjustments, like heading back to school! When determining your child's style, here's what to look for 👇

Secure
- greets parents positively when they see them again
- able to leave parent without distressed

Ambivalent
- very suspicious of strangers
- has a difficult time separating from parents

Avoidant
- may avoid seeking comfort from parents
- shows little preference for parents over strangers

Disordered
- may seem confused when with their parent
- may display avoidant characteristics

Have any questions or concerns? Let your child's therapist or teacher know!

There are many benefits of limiting screen time in children. By lowering the number of hours your child is in front of a screen, it will improve their social behavior and self-esteem, improve body composition, and improve their overall sleep!

Mrs. Angela is one of our Early Childhood Developmental Specialists who currently teaches our toddlers alongside her fellow technicians. Before coming to TLC Mrs. Angela was an RN but she also has a degree in education. Mrs. Angela is a passionate teacher who is focused on helping our growing population. She loves to learn new teaching methods and strategies that will help with building connections and teaching new skills. In August, Mrs. Angela stepped outside of her teaching duties to be a nurse again while our full time nurse was off work. She is the perfect example of a team player who is willing to help in all areas of our facility. Thank you Mrs. Angela for all your hard work and dedication to our clients and program.

We love having you as part of our team.

Mrs. Debbie is one of Early Childhood Developmental Assistants who works with Mrs. Erin in one of our 4 year old rooms. Debbie has worked at TLC for a total of 15 years. Her years of experience, knowledge of developmental milestones and child care licensing requirements and the love she shows for all children makes her a valuable employee to our program. Debbie takes the initiative to help her fellow co-workers in all areas of need, she is not afraid of a challenge and is a strong advocate for the children we serve. Thank you Debbie for your years of dedication to our program and the all children you have touched throughout your years at TLC.

We appreciate everything you do!

Our Employee of the Month for August is Chris Pyles!

"Chris is one of the most accommodating employees at TLC. Chris is always looking out for the kids and making sure they have what they need. Chris rearranges bus routes to make sure we are able to pick up and drop off kids and sometimes with short notice. I can always count on Chris to take care of transportation needs and pick up the slack where needed. Chris is definitely an asset to TLC."

Thanks for being a part of TLC Chris!

At TLC, we believe there's a bigger role for parents than helping with the occasional homework. That's why we make every effort to include our parents in their child's individualized therapy programs 🍎

This looks like...

- offering 3-4 parent training sessions per month
- informing parents of goals and program development
- updating parents on program modifications and mastered skills
- gaining parental input on new interventions

Interested in attending one of our sessions?

Message us today and we will be in contact!

"I began to notice Kinley having speech delay around 18 months. We had her evaluated at 2 years old and found that she qualified for speech, PT and OT. At 2 years old she couldn’t say “mama”, could not understand basic instructions, or identify anything.

We have seen so much progress since starting TLC! She now has 40 hours ABA therapy/week. Kinley can now identify most everything, speaking in full sentences and has much more understanding and awareness.

I’m so thankful for all TLC has done for Kinley! I know they truly love her and that makes the biggest difference!!"

The team at TLC loves being able to work with Kinley!

FAQ: Why are we SUCH big fans of early intervention at TLC?

Short answer: Our brains are more adaptable in the first three years of life, than at any other time in our lives 🤯 therapy and intervention have been proven to be more successful the earlier they're introduced!

We try to make it as easy as possible for parents to get their children the help they may need with our easy evaluations and screenings, facilitated by our team of professionals.

Our team will determine if therapy could help a child by observing them in normal settings (like a play room). If recommended, our team will then take the next step by developing an individualized plan, should parents decide they want to proceed.

If you're on the fence, but think your child might be able to benefit from occupational, speech, or physical therapy, we invite you to send us a message! Together, we'll help set your child up for success ❤️
