About Play by Play Pediatric Therapy
Our Mission
Where Play Becomes Progress
At Play by Play Pediatric Therapy, our mission is to empower children and their families through meaningful, play-based occupational therapy that honors each child’s individuality, fosters confidence, and supports development in everyday life. By creating a nurturing, child-led environment, I strive to help every child grow with joy, purpose, and connection at their own pace and in their own way.
About Me
Amber Stoltze, OTD, OTR/L
I am a pediatric occupational therapist with a passion for helping children grow through play, connection, and discovery. I believe therapy should meet each child where they are, honoring their interests, needs, and unique ways of engaging with the world. I aim to create a safe, joyful space where kids feel empowered to explore, try new things, and develop skills that support everyday life. I specialize in working with children from birth to 8 years old, focusing on the unique developmental needs of infants, toddlers, and early elementary-aged children. However, I warmly welcome clients of all ages under 18.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Northwestern College and went on to complete my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at College of Saint Mary. My background in psychology deeply influences how I work with children and families, always viewing development through both a functional and emotional lens.
Whether we’re working on self-care, motor skills, or sensory integration, my goal is to support not just the child, but the whole family.
