Happy Valentines Day!

Hello, I am Taryn, and I am an RBT at PlayDate. I have been here for over a year. Before coming to PlayDate, I taught middle school English. I love being able to work one-on-one with kids and being able to meet them where they are. I have enjoyed planning and leading the High Support Teen Group in outings to the community and in building social skills. It has been a lot of fun to cook new recipes with the kiddos and watch them gain more independence. Every day here is a new adventure, and I love anticipating what will happen next. I am looking forward to our Spring Break camp and seeing the kiddos engage in new activities.
