Gratitude looks a little extra joyful this time of year 🧡 We asked our team what they’re thankful for, and the answers were full of smiles—from lighthearted moments to the people who mean the most. We are so thankful for our wonderful clients, our supportive families and friends, and the joy we get from working with your children and serving our community every day.

Wishing your family a warm, happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Speech Start 🦃🍂💛

✨Adventure time with Ms. Alexis & Charlie! ✨
This session was full of sequencing, phonological awareness, and pre-literacy fun as we read “Pete the Cat Goes Camping.” ⛺️😺 We wrapped up with making delicious s’mores, giving the chance to practice real-world sequencing in the sweetest way!
