Director's Note

Happy June to all. A special shoutout to all of the parents who survived May and the end of the school year. Summer is a great time for adventures, heading outdoors to explore somewhere new or just head to your favorite park. We still have spots in our summer classes so check them out below. You do not have to be a client of Amaryllis to attend so invite your friends.


We understand that summer schedules can be busy and unpredictable. That's why we offer virtual therapy sessions to accommodate your family's needs and ensure continuity of care. Whether you're traveling or simply prefer the convenience of teletherapy, our virtual services are here to support you.


If you are having any difficulties with navigating the insurance process we have a great resource to share! See below for information about Family Voices.


Cheers,

Stephanie
