We had the BEST day when Emitโ€™s Adventures came to visit us at the Charles Lea Center! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿพ

They brought along some fluffy and slithery friends. Yep, snakes and lizards were among the pretty bunnies! It was like having a petting zoo come right to us, and we loved every minute of it.

The Emitโ€™s Adventures team was so patient and kind, taking time to show us each animal and even letting us pet and hold them. Sending them a big thank you for bringing such a fun and unforgettable experience to our day! We canโ€™t wait to have you back! ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ’šโœจ Staff Spotlight: Tamerial Cheeks โœจ๐Ÿ’š
Career Consultant | Encouraging Heart | Positive Impact ๐Ÿ˜Š

Meet Tamerial Cheeks, a dedicated Career Consultant who has been part of the Charles Lea Center family for 7ยฝ years. Tamerial is known for her uplifting spirit and the genuine care she brings to every interaction. She's always ready with a smile, kind words, or encouragement when itโ€™s needed most. ๐Ÿ’š

What Tamerial enjoys most about working at CLC is the opportunity to pour into someoneโ€™s life, even in the smallest ways. She finds joy in knowing that a simple gesture, like a smile, a pat on the back, or encouraging words, can help someone achieve something meaningful.

Her inspiration comes from a deep hope for change and a desire to help others who may be less fortunate. That passion shines through in everything she does.
In her role as a Career Consultant, Tamerial teaches job skills, helping individuals build confidence and preparing them to succeed in the community with strong work abilities and independence.

Tamerialโ€™s journey includes graduating from Stone Mountain High School in Georgia, along with certifications in early childhood education and nursing, reflecting her long-standing passion for caring for others.

Outside of work, she enjoys event decorating and creating balloon dรฉcor. She has a wonderful family, including her husband of two years, one child, four bonus children, five grandchildren, and a 3-year-old Cavalier King Charles. She also loves traveling and hopes to visit Pittsburgh to see her favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, play and dreams of taking her family to Paris. โœˆ๏ธ

Her personal motto says it all:
โ€œIn everything I do, I make it my best and trust God for the rest!โ€

Weโ€™re so grateful for the heart, dedication, and positivity Tamerial brings to CLC every day! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘

๐ŸŽ‰ Weโ€™re celebrating! ๐ŸŽ‰

Itโ€™s been a full year since we opened our Clarksville, TN office, and what a year itโ€™s been! From day one, weโ€™ve experienced incredible growth, built meaningful connections, and made a positive impact in communities across the state. ๐Ÿงก

While we have proudly provided services throughout Tennessee for the past three years, our Clarksville office serves as our home base and hub for all the great work happening every day!

Weโ€™re so proud of our team and all thatโ€™s been accomplished over the past years and weโ€™re just getting started! Hereโ€™s to continued growth, new opportunities, and many more milestones ahead. ๐Ÿš€

Happy 1-year anniversary to our Tennessee office ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ‘

๐ŸŽˆโœจ Twist, shape, and a whole lot of smiles! โœจ๐ŸŽˆ

We had a balloon-tastic time at CLC when talented balloon artist Avan Kroy stopped by to work his magic! From colorful animals to creative masterpieces, the gym was filled with laughter, excitement, and plenty of โ€œoohsโ€ and โ€œaahs.โ€ ๐Ÿถ๐ŸŽจ

Nothing beats the joy of watching someone like Avan turn a simple balloon turn into something amazing!
Avan, thank you for bringing the fun and making our day extra special! ๐ŸŽ‰
