Another Successful PNO!

Hi Folks!
Hope everyone out there had an amazing Father's Day! How often we forget to thank the Dads in our lives for all their hard work, sacrifice, love, and support. So we decided to spend our 2nd Parent's Night Out making a special gift just for Dad!
Parent's Night Out (PNO) is quickly becoming one of our favorite events (mom's and dad's agree) at In STEPPS. We love watching husbands and wives dress up, drop off the kids, and head out for a date night. It's so important to maintain a connection for the health and well being of the family, and we are so excited parent's are utilizing this opportunity to leave the kids with us and head out to enjoy some worry-free quality time together!
Dads, we hope you loved the special gift from your little ones!

note: the children featured on In STEPPS' blog, facebook, and website were photographed and posted with written parental consent.

Be sure to sign up early if you are interested in our Parent's Night Out for July! Date and theme will be posted on our blog and Facebook page, so check back soon!

Also, don't forget Super Hero Social Skills is in full swing and we are still taking sign ups for Lego Summer Camp!
Call or email us TODAY for more info!

Have a great week!

Family Photo Day Recap

Hi Friends!

We wanted to take a minute to let you know how our first Family Photo Day went!

First of all, a BIG thank you to all the families that came out for their mini portrait sessions last Saturday. It was so wonderful connecting with each one of you and capturing a small little snapshot in the lives and personalities of your children. We hope you are as excited as we are to see the amazing pictures!

Second, another HUGE thank you to Alicia from Alicia Q. Photography. You made our event such a success with your patience, attention to detail, and eye for the perfect angle! Your photographs speak for themselves and we know each family will love the final product.

Finally, thank you to all the In Stepps' staff that came out to help support the event. Your funny sounds, silly songs, and high energy helped the day run smoothly and kept the kiddos smiling!

For those of you that weren't able to attend, we hope we can offer another photo day sometime in the future. It was such a unique opportunity for all of us and we received nothing but great feedback.

AND.... great pictures! :) 
Check out a couple of the fantastic images Alicia has given us for a sneak peak HERE.

We can't wait to see the rest! Check out her website and blog here or on Facebook.

A Shining Star!

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
 - Albert Einstein

We'd like to introduce you all to another IN STEPPS Star!
This month, the spotlight is on Kara-Lee! Kara-Lee is just one of our many fantastic therapists. She is a crucial part to each team she is on and her positivity keep us all smiling and upbeat! She reminds us that even on the longest or toughest days, we have an amazing opportunity to help change the lives of the families we work with and a great attitude goes a long way! She goes into each session with the same energy as the last, and gives each child everything she's got! We like to call her IN STEPPS' very own "energizer bunny." :)

Here's what some of Kara-Lee's supervisors had to say about her:

"Kara-Lee has a positive attitude and is very dedicated to her clients. She brings a great energy that she maintains throughout session. Kara-Lee is always willing to try new things and implement feedback. When she is faced with a suggestion or information that she doesn't understand, she is willing to ask for clarification and or assistance. Kara-Lee knows her clients well and engages in collaboration to assist in keeping their programs moving forward."

"I can't say enough about Kara-Lee! She is an awesome therapist. She comes to each and every session with a fantastic attitude, high energy, and a fun plan! The kids adore her! She welcomes constructive feedback and implements suggestions immediately. She is always willing to go above and beyond what is required of her, much to the appreciation of her supervisors and families she works with. Her positive attitude and flexibility makes her a pleasure to have on my teams! "

"Kara-Lee is an amazing therapist with great energy!  She is extremely ambitious and always volunteers a hand to help out wherever she can.  Thanks for all you do for us, Kara-Lee!"

Yes, THANK YOU, Kara-Lee for everything that you do for us, the families and children you work with, and for reminding everyone that positivity is key! IN STEPPS wouldn't be the same without you!

We love the chance to praise the hard working and dedicated individuals on our staff. It really reminds us that we are so lucky to have such amazing team members.... they truly are a step above!
