Why did I choose to work at LIFE?

"The unique multidisciplinary approach that LIFE offers allows physical therapists the opportunity to co-treat with other disciplines. My pediatric knowledge has grown because of my LIFE colleagues and my LIFE clients, and I look forward to continue learning with them."

-Tammy Groenwald, Physical Therapist PT, DPT

" The PEOPLE..we are like family. I feel at home when at LIFE. I love being surrounded by people who share the same passion for serving these clients as I do, and in turn the kids I work with remind me every day of what is most important in life and to count my blessings. It may look like we are just playing but we are doing a lot of work building life skills for a successful future, and having fun while doing so. I truly do believe it takes a village to raise a child and I am fortunate to work in a place among people who are so supportive, knowledgeable, and loving. We are a team that I am proud to be part of!!! "

-Angela Olson, Occupational Therapist in Therapy Department

"Lauren's Institute for Education is a unique and special place to work. As an employee I feel grateful to have an opportunity to be a part of a place that values who work for it. There are monthly incentive programs in each discipline, employee appreciation gifts, and training programs for continued education. The camaraderie among coworkers is what you experience when working at LIFE. New employees are supported by trainings, observation time, and supervision. The quality of the people who work here make a difference in the lives of others. There is a standard of kindness, dedication, and honesty that extends to all leadership. Knowing that I work here makes me feel fulfilled in being able to share my skills, join in meaningful moments, and impact the lives of others in a positive way."

"I choose to work in this field as a respite provider because I love kids. I am able to connect with my clients and impact their lives. After volunteering at LIFE for two years, I decided that becoming a respite provider would be the best option for me. I think that it is really great to be able to interact with these children and make their lives better. My dream career is to be a pediatric nurse practitioner and I think through working with children now will help me later in my career. Being a respite provider has allowed me to grow as a person and is a field that not only positively impacts me but the consumers as well."

-Victoria Tipescu, Direct Support Professional- Respite Provider

"When I first came to L.I.F.E. I started in the community. This is where I fell in love with this beautiful company and its story. From there I had the amazing opportunity to join the DTA Family. I love being a part of a team that is dedicated to teaching and helping others succeed in their everyday lives. I have learned so much while working with all the wonderful consumers we have. Being here every day working with them and watching them grow as individuals is truly my favorite thing to do. I am so grateful to be a DTA Team Member and be a part of the amazing family & company that is L.I.F.E."

-Irene Parsons, Adult Day Treatment (DTA) Direct Support Professional

"I've been at for Lauren's Institute for Education since 2018 and it is by far the best place I've ever worked! They foster a sense of family and community that is second to none and it starts at the top. They do their best to take great care of their staff so we can be our best for our consumers. All the paid time off is pretty awesome too! I couldn't imagine being anywhere else."
