Marisa Hart is a mom of two, wife, dog mom, and certified occupational therapist (OT) with over 13 years in practice. 

Marisa formed Hart Play Lab through combining her professional experience as an occupational therapist— with her personal passion for curating play for children to improve their independence and function.

Each Hart Play Lab class is custom created and led by Marisa to immerse your child in a sensory rich environment that ensures function and development are at the forefront of the activity.

When not working, Marisa is likely to be organizing her kitchen, helping her sisters organize their houses (via FaceTime), setting up a DIY activity for her children, or researching something!

Hart Play Lab is truly made from Marisa’s heart for your children and she is eternally grateful to the community supporting this growth.

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood
