Meet Our Staff

Thom Westfield Infant Toddler Services

Thom Westfield Infant Toddler Services (WITS) is in the business of helping children and their families achieve their goals. We recognize that our success depends on the skills and experience of the people who work for us. Thom Westfield Infant Toddler employs over 50 full and part-time staff members: teachers, counselors, nurses, social workers and therapists, many of them fluent in Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian.

Meet some of our dedicated staff:

Liz is an Office Manager who began her career with Thom Child and Family Services at our Springfield program site. She has been with Westfield Infant Toddler Services since 1999, for a combined total of 27 years of service. Prior to working at Thom, she was a teacher’s aide and a parent volunteer. She is a veteran of the US Navy which she credits for honing her skills in attention to detail and, as our insurance liaison, this is a valuable skill. Liz understands the importance of the insurance benefit and takes great pride in helping families so they can access the services needed to help their child.

What brings Liz enjoyment in her job? “I love making sure families understand they are not responsible to pay for our services and there is never an out-of-pocket expense to them. I love working with all the staff, and the best part of my day is seeing the children walk by my office on their way out to the playground.”

Kayla joined our team in April 2022. Prior to working for Thom, Kayla worked with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. She is experienced working with children on their sensory motor development and activities of daily living (ADLs). Kayla received her master’s degree from Bay Path University in 2018.

“In April of 2022, I started with Thom WITS and quickly fell in love with birth to three services. I feel lucky to be able to make a positive impact so early in children’s lives and set them up for success for many years to come.”
