About Us

Hi, my name is Tara. After years of struggling to teach kids after they got home from school, I was inspired to open a full-day ABA center. Rather than trying to teach kids when they were tired, we would be able to teach new skills quickly, because we would be teaching them when they were well rested and ready to learn!

So in 2019, we did it! We opened The Play Now Early Childhood Center, which houses The Behavior Place ABA Program. Since then, we’ve had the honor of teaching hundreds of local children, and sharing our strategies with their families

Our mission is to help your child learn new skills, while honoring their unique personality, interests, and individuality.
