Nothing beats the joy on our little friends faces during the holidays! 🎄✨

For Christmas, our families came to Time to Shine to visit Santa, do holiday crafts, and have cookies and hot cocoa. These are the moments we LOVE—celebrating together and creating memories that shine! 💚

Thank you for being part of our Time to Shine ABA family! 🌟

We LOVE sensory bins! 🎨✨

Sensory play is such a powerful tool for learning and development! Our All Stars explore textures, practice fine motor skills, and enjoy hands-on fun while building confidence and independence.

Whether it's sand, water, or hidden treasures to discover—sensory bins bring joy to therapy and make skill-building feel like pure play. Watch the focus, the creativity, the pure JOY! 💛

This is what Time to Shine ABA is all about—making learning enjoyable, one sensory experience at a time! 🌟

This moment right here? 🎭 This is what we LIVE for!

When our little friends move beyond stacking, sorting, and matching into the beautiful world of imaginative play—we get CHILLS! 💫 This is a HIGHER LEVEL skill that shows incredible cognitive growth and creativity.

Watch this sweet friend feeding her toy friend in the play kitchen! 🐱🥒 That's not just playing with toys—that's storytelling, social skills, and imagination coming to life. Every pretend scenario, every "let's pretend," every creative moment is a HUGE milestone worth celebrating! 🌟

At Time to Shine ABA, we celebrate EVERY step of the journey. From first words to imaginative adventures, we're here cheering you on! ✨

Meet Valerie! 💙 We're SO excited to spotlight one of our amazing team members!

Valerie brings a wealth of compassion and expertise to Time to Shine ABA. With an extensive background as a CNA and years of experience working with adults with dementia, she's developed incredible patience, empathy, and care skills that shine through in every interaction.

Now, Valerie is channeling that passion into working with children. As a proud mom of four (2 boys and 2 girls), she understands the heart of family and the importance of making meaningful impacts on young lives. Her dedication to helping each child grow and succeed is truly inspiring! 🌟

✨ Teaching, Not Avoiding ✨

At Time to Shine ABA, we believe that everyone learns when given the opportunity. That's why we put up a tree and decorate for the holidays—not to avoid the challenge, but to TEACH our little friends how to enjoy the decorations without touching.

The first week? Ornaments everywhere! 🎄 But look at us now—our tree is standing tall and beautifully decorated, and our friends are learning impulse control, respect for shared spaces, and the joy of the season all at once.

This is what ABA looks like in real life. It's not about limiting experiences—it's about building skills that help our kids thrive in the world around them. 💙

🍪 Holiday Cookie Decorating Fun at Time to Shine ABA! ✨

There's nothing quite like the joy of creating holiday treats together! This week, our friends have been having a blast decorating gingerbread cookies with their RBTs.

Every moment is a chance to build skills, celebrate teamwork, and make memories! 🎄 These activities help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and most importantly, create moments of pure joy and connection.

We LOVE seeing our kids shine during these special seasonal activities. The smiles say it all! 💚

When kids see their friendly staff modeling helpful behaviors, something magical happens—they WANT to help keep their spaces clean and organized! 🌟

It's one of our favorite moments at Time to Shine ABA. Our little friends naturally pick up on the positive examples around them and start taking pride in their environment. Whether it's tidying up the therapy room, organizing materials, or keeping things neat, these little helpers show us that kids are always watching and learning from the adults they trust.💚

Happy helper for the WIN! 🎉

Sometimes the best moments happen when plans change! 🎨

We had a beautiful craft activity all set up today, but one of our friends had a different vision. Instead of staying on the paper, this friend decided to explore painting beyond the confines—and honestly? We're SO here for it! 😭

This is what we LOVE about working with our kids. Flexibility. Creativity. Celebrating the unexpected. Their ideas become the plan, and that's when the real magic happens. ✨

Every child learns and expresses themselves differently, and we're here for ALL of it—paint on hands, paint on paper, paint on the journey! 💚

Time to Shine isn't just about following the plan—it's about following their lead and watching them shine in their own beautiful way! 🌟
