Discover the Heart Behind Heaven’s Ark

Heaven’s Ark Children’s Therapy was founded with a simple belief: every child is uniquely created, deeply valued, and full of purpose.

We provide compassionate, individualized pediatric occupational therapy that supports children as they develop the skills needed to grow in independence, confidence, and participation in everyday life. By providing therapy within a child’s natural environment and partnering closely with families, we strive to make each therapy experience meaningful, practical, and centered around the unique needs of every child.

As a Christian faith-based practice, we also offer faith-based support to families who desire to incorporate their faith into their child’s therapeutic journey, providing an approach that supports both the child and family with compassion, encouragement, and hope.

Our Philosophy

Encourage independence from the beginning

Together, we outline a path forward that’s realistic, strategic, and tailored to the child’s and family’s specific needs.

Respect the whole child

You’re an important part of the therapeutic process. We keep communication open, develop goals around your child’s unique strengths and needs, and provide practical strategies that support progress at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Therapy Where Life Happens

We provide support in your child’s natural environments, such as the home or daycare. This allows children to practice meaningful skills within familiar routines, helping progress carry over into everyday life.

Partnering with caregivers

Caregivers are an essential part of a child’s progress. We work alongside families by listening to their concerns, sharing practical strategies, and helping them support their child’s development through everyday routines.
