Every child experiences the world in their own special way and that uniqueness deserves to be nurtured. Weâre thrilled to introduce an exciting new program designed to support early childhood development by combining sensory-motor activities with academics. Our small group sizes and expert guidance ensure each child receives the individualized attention they need to thrive.
So what makes our program different? After 26 years as a pediatric occupational therapist working across various settings, Iâve seen firsthand how essential play-based learning is to a childâs development. Children build crucial neurological pathways through movement and play because play is the work of the child! Our program is grounded in the science of brain and body development, utilizing purposeful activities that promote coordination, focus, confidence, and academic readiness.
âIâve made it my mission to create more opportunities for children to grow through play and purposeful learning,â says Becky Mahalec, owner of Center of Developmental Pediatrics and Horizon Pediatrics. âOur goal is to see every child succeed through our highly individualized and thoughtfully designed program.â
Spaces are limited, come be a part of something truly transformational!
We offer thoughtfully designed group programs for children aged 2-5, with additional specialized sessions available for children aged 6 and beyond.
Our exclusive program is designed to support parents, too! We understand how important it is to have informed answers to your questions and guidance on how to best support your childâs unique nervous system. Thatâs why, twice a month, our Early Childhood Educator and Pediatric Occupational Therapist lead engaging discussions for all enrolled families.
This is a valuable opportunity to build your confidence, deepen your understanding of your childâs development, and grow alongside them in a supportive, knowledgeable community.
Research consistently shows that high-quality early childhood programs lay the groundwork for future success, and thatâs exactly what Horizon Pediatrics is all about! Our program is designed to foster growth, confidence, and school readiness. When you enroll, youâre not just signing up for a group; youâre making a meaningful investment in your childâs development, academic foundation, and overall happiness. When you enroll, you're making a meaningful investment in your childâs future.
*Please note: We will be closed on Labor Day (Sept 1) and during Thanksgiving Week.

Everything about our program is designed with intention. Our small group sizes, never more than six children, create the space for deep connection, focused support, and truly individualized learning.
We take the time to understand each childâs unique strengths, challenges, and goals. With ongoing evaluation woven into every session, we adjust and adapt to meet your child right where they are, helping them reach where theyâre meant to be and beyond.
All of this happens in a play-based environment where relationships are the foundation. When children feel safe, seen, and supported, they donât just grow, they thrive.
This is more than just a program. Itâs where real developmental progress is made, and where children begin building a confident foundation for life.
