Daycare Support For Young Children With Autism

Early intervention to achieve developmental milestones.

By leveraging the brain’s ability to learn and adapt quickly during early childhood, we help young children with autism develop crucial social, communication, and behavioral skills in a nurturing daycare environment.

Our dedicated Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work with your child directly in their daycare setting. By integrating ABA therapy strategies into their daily interactions and activities, our RBTs provide critical daycare support for your child’s social, communication, and developmental needs.

Specialized Programs For Toddlers Through Pre-K

Flexibility for your family’s needs.

From helping toddlers learn skills typically developed in the first three years of life—to supporting pre-K children with the developmental milestones they need to prepare for school—we tailor our services for your child’s developmental goals and your family’s needs.

Structured Play For Pivotal Skill Development

Essential growth for broader progress.

Through structured play-based activities in a supportive daycare environment, we work to develop the social-emotional skills that support your child’s broader developmental progress. 

By integrating learning into fun and engaging activities, children have the opportunity to develop ABA-enhanced communication, problem-solving, and social skills at an early age. A predictable daycare routine provides stability and security for children with autism, fostering smoother transitions and confidence throughout their day.

Creating The Optimal Therapy Environment At Home

With early intervention, we can maximize the benefits of ABA therapy.

The neuroplasticity of a young child’s mind makes it highly adaptable, allowing for significant change and skill development. When interventions are started at a young age, children are able to build a strong foundation for learning that leads to greater independence and reduces the need for intensive services later in life.

Enhanced communication

Early intervention can significantly enhance a child’s ability to express themselves and understand others.

Reduced behavioral challenges

By addressing problematic behaviors early, ABA therapy can prevent them from becoming ingrained habits.

Increased school readiness

Children who receive early intervention are better prepared to succeed in a classroom setting.

Improved family dynamics

When parents have the right tools and strategies early on, they can better support their child’s development which fosters a more harmonious family life.

Success Stories

The true impact of our work is best reflected in the words of our clients.

We’ve been receiving in-home therapy services from Brighter Strides for over a year, and our experience has been very positive. Both the supervisor and the therapist have been patient, professional, and genuinely committed to understanding our child’s unique needs. They also respect our preferences as parents, which has made the process feel truly collaborative.

The entire team consistently goes above and beyond to create a supportive and personalized environment. We also appreciate their flexibility with scheduling. While we understand that therapists have their own lives and occasionally need adjustments, which we’re happy to accommodate, it might be a consideration for families who need a more rigid schedule.

Overall, we’re grateful for the care and dedication Brighter Strides has shown our family.
We are so grateful for the incredible care and support our child received at Brighter Strides. Over the course of his time in ABA, we saw tremendous growth in his social skills, communication and emotional regulation. The progress he made was beyond what we hoped for, and it’s been amazing to watch him gain confidence and independence.

A huge part of that success was thanks to the thoughtful and intentional approach of his BCBA. She always made sure he was paired with the RBT who would best support his needs at any given time, and those decisions made a real difference in his experience and progress.

He truly looked forward to going to ABA, and it's bittersweet to see him "graduate." While we're so proud of how far he's come, he’ll definitely miss the friends he made and the positive, supportive environment at Brighter Strides. Thank you for everything — we couldn’t have asked for a better team to walk this journey with us!
I needed in home service and brighter Strides was very responsive and quick to assign my son a therapist. They have a high therapist retention rate and their therapists are good.
Im in the process of registering for ABA therapy for my daughter. The process is smooth and well organized. Hopefull everything fall into place and she can start the therapy. Thank you all for your patient and understanding.
We followed our ABA RBT from a competitor to Brighter Strides a few years ago and they accommodated us through that transition. My son had developed a close relationship with the RBT at the time so we really wanted to continue that relationship. My son was diagnosed with ASD just over 4 years ago and over that time we probably had 7 different RBTs across 3 companies. By far the 3 best RBTs and BCBA that we had for our son were at Brighter Strides. The quality of personnel versus the competition is no comparison! I highly recommend Brighter Strides ABA Therapy.
My son has been at the center for about 7 months, and I couldn’t be happier. Riley, Cynthia, and Caitlin are amazing—dedicated, professional, and always showing so much care in every session. In this time, I’ve seen tremendous progress in my son, which fills me with joy and gratitude. All the staff are so kind and always welcome us with a smile. It’s a place full of commitment, warmth, and love for children! 💛
Professional, compassionate, and reliable. Everything we hoped for in ABA services..
Brighter Strides ABA has been a game-changer for our family.

From day one, their team has gone above and beyond to provide thoughtful, individualized care. The BCBAs are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, taking the time to explain each step of the process and truly collaborate with us. The RBTs have been professional, consistent, and caring, building real relationships with our child and helping us see meaningful progress.

Communication is always clear, scheduling has been flexible, and it’s obvious that the staff truly care about the kids and families they work with. We feel lucky to be part of a provider that prioritizes quality, respect, and results.

Highly recommend Brighter Strides to any family looking for ABA services that are both compassionate and effective
My son was with brighter strides for a bit over a year, today he graduated and I can’t sit here and lie and say I don’t feel emotional about not going anymore. If you’re looking for a team that’s loving, caring, patient and want to see your child achieve their goals I would definitely recommend brighter strides. Every single person has been amazing. The communication, the patience, organization they have has really exceeded what I thought how it could be. The way my son asked every day about going to school or about going to see his RBTs I knew he was being cared for as he should. I will forever be grateful to his team on how much they helped him improve in areas he struggled with at the beginning. He went from barely speaking to having conversations, not potty trained to potty trained, speaking his emotions instead of hitting. I don’t have much family out in GA and don’t have the village others have but I can definitely say the way they treated my son felt like they were apart of my village. Thank you so much for everything yall did!
If you’re a parent who has ever walked a hard path with your child’s health—this is for you.
I’ve been through the ups, the downs, the medication trials and tapers, the hospitalizations, the endless school calls, emails, and texts. I’ve felt the pain of isolation, the tears, the depression. I’ve experienced the failure of services that weren’t the right fit, and the heartbreak that comes when nothing seems to work. I’ve felt the physical, verbal, and emotional toll of parenting a child with extreme behavioral needs. I’ve been there, ready to give up with nowhere left to turn.

But I didn’t give up. And I’m writing this today to tell you not to either.

Brighter Strides ABA Therapy has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. Since starting services with them, and more importantly, with the right team, my son has gone from 50 aggressive behaviors in an hour to five or fewer a week. Sometimes even none. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s a testament to the power of the right support, the right medication plan, and the right people.

To Hannah and Kuri, our BCBA and RBT, you have not only changed my son’s life, you have saved my mental health as a parent. You’ve brought peace and hope back into our home. I will forever be indebted to you.

To the parents still in the thick of it: don’t stop advocating. Don’t stop learning. Don’t let anyone make you question how well you know your child. Every gut instinct I followed, every time I pushed back or pressed harder, it paid off. Keep fighting the fight. Be willing to grow and adapt alongside your child. There is always more to learn. And there is help out there that does work, Brighter Strides is proof of that.

ABA therapy, when done right, with the right people, alongside proper medication and parent training, is a game changer. It’s not perfect—but nothing is. And when you’ve been through what we have, even small wins feel like miracles.

Thank you, Brighter Strides. Thank you, Hannah and Kuri. You didn’t just help my son, you saved our family.
There were all so nice to us and explaining everything waiting to start school soon excited thank you
This is a pretty good place. Can’t wait to start services for my son!
love the services, amazing RBT and BCBA. having it in home has been very beneficial for me as a parent to see the process and learn skills
Un lugar muy seguro, sobre todo los trabajadores son muy amables yo en lo personal estoy en encantada con el gran avance qué tiene mi hijo
I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for my son’s incredible therapy team, Mrs. Alyssa and Mrs. Z. Over the past year with Brighter Strides ABA, the progress my son has made in his growth and development has been truly reassuring for our family's future.

Mrs. Alyssa, our dedicated coordinator, has been an exceptional advocate for my son, ensuring that his needs are met on various different occasions when I was unknowledgeable on how to express them. Mrs. Z, through her one-on-one sessions, has brought creativity, enthusiasm, and unwavering dedication to his development, making a meaningful impact that has not gone unnoticed.

Thank you both for not only supporting my son but also guiding and uplifting our entire family as we navigate this journey. Your hard work and commitment mean the world to us!
Very professional. My kids love the center and staff is friendly.
Bright Strides provides great services by understanding the specific needs of our kids, not only with good strategies but also with clear and complete goals. The administrative service is excellent, always willing to help and find solutions.
All pros no cons great people and organization
My son Danny has been with Bright Strides for over three years, and his progress in following instructions, speech, and social skills has been amazing. The Bright Strides team has worked tirelessly to ensure that Daniel advances in every area he needs. They have designed sessions with clear and achievable goals tailored to him. All of Danny's accomplishments are a direct result of the team's dedication and the ongoing support we've received as parents. The administrative team has also been incredibly responsive, addressing any questions or concerns we've had in the shortest time possible. I have nothing but gratitude and positive feedback for the exceptional service we've received.
A fantastic ABA center! The staff genuinely cares, and their methods are both effective and compassionate.
