🎉🎈 Happy 1-Year Workiversary, Tyjean! 🎈🎉

If you've ever visited Impact Learning & Development, there's a good chance you've heard laughter coming from wherever Tyjean is working. 😆

For the past year, Tyjean has kept us on our toes, brought smiles to countless faces, and become a favorite among both our clients and team members. He has a special talent for figuring out exactly what motivates each child and turning therapy sessions into engaging, meaningful, and FUN experiences. Whether it's a favorite toy or a silly game, Tyjean knows how to connect with kids and help them succeed.

And just when you think he's spent enough time with children for one day, you'll often find him over at Impact Kidz Academy a few afternoons each week, hanging out with even more kids! It's not uncommon to walk into a classroom and find children attached to both of his arms like he's some kind of human jungle gym. 😂

Tyjean's energy, humor, patience, and genuine love for children make a difference every single day. We are incredibly grateful for the joy he brings to our organization and to the families we serve.

💙 Please join us in celebrating Tyjean's first year with Impact Learning & Development! Drop a congratulations message below and help us show him some love! 👏🎉
