About
Hi, I'm Dr. Tatyana Munroe, OTD, OTR/L—occupational therapist, mom, and nature enthusiast.
After graduating magna cum laude from the University of St. Augustine's doctoral program in Miami, I combined my passion for pediatric occupational therapy, holistic child development, and the healing power of nature to create Modern Tots.
As both an occupational therapist and a mother, I've witnessed firsthand that children learn best when they're engaged, connected, and having fun. Play isn't simply entertainment—it's a child's most meaningful occupation. Through play, children build strength, confidence, communication, problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and independence. That's why play-based learning is at the heart of everything I do.
Whether I'm working one-on-one with a child through individualized occupational therapy or leading nature-inspired, sensory-rich play experiences, my goal is always the same: to meet each child where they are, celebrate their unique strengths, and help them develop the skills they need to thrive in everyday life.
At Modern Tots, I believe growth happens naturally when children are free to explore, families feel supported, and meaningful connections are nurtured. I'm honored to walk alongside families as they discover the incredible potential that unfolds through purposeful play.
I can't wait to welcome you and your little one into our community.
Mission
At Modern Tots LLC, our mission is to nurture the whole child and empower caregivers through a comprehensive, play-based approach to pediatric development. We offer private boutique-style occupational therapy services and nature based Mini & Me classes that encourage exploration through our senses, motor development, and deep caregiver-child connections. Grounded in evidence-based, play-centered therapy, our services support key developmental areas including sensory integration, fine and gross motor skills, emotional regulation, self-care, and social interaction. Inspired by the healing power of nature and rooted in community, we are dedicated to enriching families’ lives with compassionate care, joyful learning, and meaningful support.
Philosophy
At Modern Tots LLC, we believe that every child is inherently capable, curious, and deserving of opportunities to grow in a nurturing, responsive environment. Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that development is most meaningful when it is child-led, play-based, and enriched by relationships and nature.
We view occupational therapy not just as a service, but as a partnership—one that honors the individuality of each child and the essential role of caregivers. Through evidence-based, holistic approaches, we support children in gaining the skills they need for everyday success—whether through sensory integration, motor development, emotional regulation, or functional independence.
We believe that play is the primary language of childhood and the most powerful tool for learning. In our therapy sessions and nature-based classes, play is not an activity—it’s a foundation for connection, confidence, and capability.
Community is at the heart of our work. We strive to create inclusive, supportive spaces where families feel seen, empowered, and equipped to navigate their child’s developmental journey. By combining clinical expertise with the restorative benefits of nature and the joy of playful exploration, we aim to foster resilience, curiosity, and well-being in every family we serve.
