Who We Are.

At Solaris Therapy and Learning Center, we believe that every child has a unique spark—and it’s our mission to help it shine. We provide compassionate, individualized therapy services for children and families in a supportive, collaborative environment.

We take a whole-child approach, honoring each child’s individuality while working closely with families to build skills, celebrate progress, and foster confidence. Whether we’re developing communication, supporting sensory needs, or nurturing independence, our approach is rooted in purpose and centered on empowering lifelong learning for every child we serve.

At Solaris, we’re dedicated to shining light on every journey—through teamwork, authenticity, inclusion, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference with quality care.

Because therapy is more than a service—it’s a shared journey. And we’re honored to be a guiding light along the way.

  • Making a meaningful positive change in the lives of our children and families.

  • Authenticity - We build trust and meaningful connections by being genuine, honest, and true to ourselves in everything we do.

    Collaboration - Together, we achieve more by working as a team, fostering success through passion and shared goals.

    Accountability & Integrity - We take responsibility for our actions, keep our promises, and always act with honesty to prioritize the well-being of every child.

    Outcomes - Progress is our priority, and we are committed to achieving the best results for those we serve.

  • At Solaris Therapy and Learning Center, we’re proud to cultivate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment—both within our team and in the care we provide. We believe that every child, family, and staff member brings unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences that enrich our community.

    We are committed to:

    • Celebrating diversity across all levels of our organization, including leadership and decision-making roles.

    • Ensuring equitable access to our services for all families, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance.

    • Fostering an inclusive workplace where every team member feels respected, supported, and empowered to grow—personally and professionally.

    At Solaris, inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s how we shine light on every journey.
