As a developmental specialist and interior decorator, Kari Thompson impeccably designed The Children’s TLC to create a therapeutic environment like no other in the Treasure Valley. Housed within a 5,000 square foot center, every detail, from the color and themes of each room to the murals, was carefully chosen to provide a warm and inviting space for all children and families alike. Our cheerful and multi-functional gym gives each child the feeling of being in an outdoor playground! Our state-of-the-art clinic is designed to provide the ultimate sensory experience with multiple therapy rooms and equipment such as suspended swings, custom structures, a trampoline, a climbing dome, monkey bars, rock climbing wall, slides, a tire structure, a 10 - foot cargo net, and hundreds of other therapy toys!
At The Children’s TLC, we encourage children to shoot for the stars and believe that achieving any goal is possible!
