Hello, I’m Kim, I have enjoyed being an Occupational Therapist for 18 years. I have worked in the hospital, clinic, and school settings, and have even done some travel therapy. I have specialized in Pediatric Occupational Therapy for the past 9 years. I currently work both in the school and clinic setting and in these settings I support children with a variety of skills including-fine motor, visual motor/visual perceptual, self regulation, sensory processing, and self care skills. I love my job and feel so blessed to be able to work and play with kids every day! I enjoy using toys as a vehicle for learning and also to promote various important developmental skills through play.
On a personal note, I enjoy living in beautiful San Diego with my husband and daughter, who is now in pre school. It is so fun to get to use (and trial) many of the toys with her! My hope is to promote quality toys that have enriched my practice, and to foster development and learning through play!

Hello, I’m Ashley, I have enjoyed being a part of children’s lives as an Occupational Therapist since 2008. I have worked in the hospital, school, home, and private practice setting. I am passionate about emphasizing a child’s strengths, drawing from their intrinsic interests, and using the relationship between child and play partner as the vehicle for learning and development.
I enjoy the role of being a proud auntie and take pleasure in being a common resource for family and friends when gift giving seasons or children’s birthdays arise. In my professional world, I am often recognized for toting an assortment of novel games and toys. I am passionate about finding the right toy or novelty to explore with even the most tough to reach child. These quickly become merely tools for me to engage, build trust, share humor, and form the precious relationship I value with each child. It is an honor for me to have found a way to share the creative, playful side of my professional field through this website.
