Early Learning Program
Waves believes that parents and primary caregivers are naturally a child’s first and most important teachers. Our Early Learning Program provide a variety of play-based learning opportunities for babies, toddlers, and preschool aged children of all abilities in the child’s home or daycare/preschool.
Adult Day Services
Waves operates two Center-based Day Programs; one in Franklin and one in Fairview. In addition, Waves operates a Community Transitions Program in Franklin. These programs encourage continued learning and life-skills training through art, music, exercise clubs, trips into the community, and volunteer work.
Adult Residential Programs
Waves offers residential support for individuals with a broad range of abilities. We currently operate eight homes and four apartments, giving our service recipients the opportunity to live as independently as possible.
Employment Program
Our Employment Program provides services for job training, placement, and monitoring. Employment not only provides independence, it also is another way for our service recipients to connect to their community.
Office Recycling Program
The Waves Office Recycling Program is a “green” way to support Waves. Waves has been a leader in the recycling industry in Williamson County since it rolled out its recycling program in 1994. Currently, Waves Office Recycling serves over 90 businesses in Williamson County.
