Description

Learn, teach, repeat! Do you have a passion for helping children succeed? Enjoy supporting child care teachers to best meet the needs of children? If so, we want you to join our team!

Therapeutic Child Care Services (TCCS) is an inclusion program for children with behavioral, social emotional, or developmental delays. The therapeutic program gives children the opportunity to attend, learn, and play in a childcare setting. Children participate in activities and opportunities throughout the day with their typically developing peers. We recognize that every child is an individual, and make modifications and accommodations based on each child’s needs. Our goal is to give ALL children the opportunity to succeed. 

TCCS is a Kids Connect Program, regulated by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services in Rhode Island.

The Therapeutic team consists of a Special Needs Program Director, a Clinical Supervisor, Clinicians, a team of Therapeutic Integration Specialists, and all the direct service staff members who assist children to reach their personal best each day. Each Clinician will share site responsibility to include weekly visits, assess children and support teachers with behavioral needs and interventions.
