Play- Early Childhood Behavior Therapist

Do You Speak “Kid”? We Want to Meet You!

Do you love working with kids and want to make a real difference in their lives? Maybe you’re the person who would rather sit at the kids’ table during holidays or can’t resist making funny faces at children on airplanes or in restaurants. Imagine a place where your natural ability to connect with children can turn everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences.

At Zephyr, we’ve created a nurturing, preschool-alternative environment for children ages 2-6, using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to teach skills through play and meaningful daily routines.

If you’re someone who gets joy from making kids laugh, helping them discover new things, and seeing the world through their eyes—Zephyr is the perfect place for you!

Great question! ABA is a proven approach that helps children with autism develop essential life skills like communicating, making friends, and exploring their world. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with it yet—we’ll train you and support you every step of the way. The most important thing is that you come ready to learn, play, and be a part of something truly special!

At Zephyr, we believe that every child is unique, with their own personality, strengths, and way of experiencing the world. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing, progressive environment where children with autism can learn, grow, and express themselves freely.

Our approach goes beyond traditional methods, focusing on empowering each child to be their authentic self while developing essential life skills through play and natural interaction.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• A Focus on Individuality:
• We celebrate each child’s personality and unique way of learning. Our therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” We use a child-led approach that honors their interests, preferences, and pace, making sure that therapy feels natural and joyful. Here, we encourage children to explore their creativity, make choices, and express themselves in ways that feel right to them.
• Naturalistic, Play-Based Learning:
• Using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles, we create learning opportunities through play, embedding skill-building in everyday activities that children love. Our progressive approach blends structure with freedom, allowing children to engage in meaningful, self-directed learning while working on important developmental goals.
• Supporting Self-Expression:
• We believe in giving children the tools to communicate, not just with words but through whatever means suits them best—whether that’s gestures, play, or creative expression. We work to help each child find their voice, respecting the way they choose to engage with the world around them.
• A Sensory-Friendly, Inclusive Environment:
• Our center is designed to be a place where children feel safe and comfortable, with sensory-friendly spaces that adapt to their needs. We ensure that every child, regardless of their sensitivities or preferences, can thrive in an environment that respects who they are.
• Compassionate and Committed Team:
• At Zephyr, our team is made up of passionate professionals who are as dedicated to the children as they are to each other. We believe that teamwork, mutual respect, and compassion are key to creating a positive work culture, where everyone feels valued and supported.
