My Story

Before coming to Blue Bird Day, I worked with children and youth in a variety of different settings including schools, clinics, and youth advocacy programs. During these opportunities, I gained clinical experience providing individual, family, and group counseling, as well as, developed case management skills, and gained experience navigating various school systems. My passion is supporting children and their families in building and reaching their individualized goals, to help create future success for the child and family unit as a whole.  

My Blue Bird Day

One of the best things about working at Blue Bird has been getting to watch the progress and growth made by both our kiddos and their families. Additionally, I love that I get to work with such a wonderful and collaborative team of individuals, who both support and continually push me to grow as a therapist and teacher.

Testimonials

Parent: From Facebook Review: “His preschool teacher Lauren is the absolute best teacher i could ask for. I could rant and rave about this school and the teachers, therapists, and administrators all day. I could not be happier that I made the choice to send my Son to this school.”
