Your job is to treat your kids. Our team helps fill your schedule so you can do just that..

A Workplace Where You Belong

We believe connection matters. SHINE makes time to celebrate our team and build relationships beyond the therapy setting through team dinners, game nights, holiday celebrations, summer events, birthdays, new babies, weddings, and other life milestones.

We want SHINE to be more than a place you work. We want it to be a place where you feel connected, valued, and part of a team.
