Who we are

At Meadowsteps, we help young children grow through connection — to people, to nature, and to themselves.

Rooted in Louisville, Kentucky, Meadowsteps provides practical, research-informed developmental support for families who want something different from busy, insurance-driven therapy. Our focus is simple: clear, natural strategies that fit your child’s real life and nurture deep, meaningful growth.

We specialize in helping families of young children — especially those who may not fit into standard early learning models.
Whether your child is just beginning to engage, struggling with joint attention, or needs more support to play alongside others, we meet them right where they are — on the floor, in the backyard, or at the kitchen table. Every plan is tailored to your child’s developmental stage and your family’s everyday rhythms.

What makes Meadowsteps different?

  • Naturalistic and flexible: We bring fresh air, open space, and unstructured play back into your child’s day, indoors or out.

  • Evidence-based and practical: Our work is grounded in trusted developmental science — no rigid programs, no one-size-fits-all checklists.

  • Family-centered: We work alongside you, equipping you with clear, realistic steps you can use right away.

  • Private-pay, no insurance hoops: Your child’s needs come first — not billing codes.

Families local to Louisville are welcome to schedule in-person sessions. For families elsewhere, we offer warm, thoughtful telehealth consults — always adapted to your home, your child, and what’s truly possible for your family.

If you’re ready to move beyond generic advice and nurture real connection, let’s talk.
