OUR TEAM
We’re a team of compassionate, highly trained, Christian women committed to partnering with parents to help improve the lives of the children we serve. We understand that when a family chooses our services, they are trusting us with their most precious gift, their child. With that being said, we are very purposeful (some may say picky) as to who we recruit to join our team. Thorough background and drug testing help us to ensure that our team members have clean backgrounds and are drug free. Our entire team are also CPR and First Aid Certified.
“Playful on Purpose is mission driven by a mom with a child on the autism spectrum. After my son’s diagnosis, I devoted my time and effort to create the best early learning and intervention options for not just my own son but those sons and daughters in the community around me. I have seen first-hand and believe in what is achievable through pediatric ABA therapy, especially early intervention.”
