Tilly’s Place brings therapists and teachers together with therapy dogs to support children’s learning, social-emotional growth, and well-being. We provide interactive preschool education programs, therapy dog program consultation, continuing education in-services, and school-based animal-assisted therapy and education. Children learn empathy, build resilience, and develop an appreciation for diversity while engaging with therapy dogs who have disabilities. Every program is designed to respect and support the well-being, safety, and health of both dogs and people.

Our mission: to empower healthcare and education professionals in partnering with therapy animals using evidence-based practices to promote human and animal well-being.
