The Heart Behind our work
Hi! I’m Cara, a pediatric occupational therapist with a lifelong passion for honoring each child’s unique strengths through meaningful, developmentally appropriate experiences. Here at In Wonder Still, I use research and evidence to create tools, strategies, and gentle guidance to help parents, therapists, and educators nurture confidence, independence, and joyful participation at every age. Even in a busy, modern world, I believe children deserve to stay grounded in curiosity and wonder, and supported in their growth, because that is where learning and self-discovery truly flourish. Our mission is to translate research into gentle, practical tools for families and educators. We believe in supporting playful, confident, and connected learning so that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
