Get peace of mind about your child’s development
At Progress Through Play we believe that babies deserve to feel good in their bodies so they can breathe, eat, sleep, poop and play well.
Understanding your baby’s development can feel overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. But it doesn’t have to feel that way. Progress Through Play recognizes that every child develops at their own pace and we are here to help you gain insight into the way your baby’s body functions and moves.
Whether you’re needing expert care and treatment for torticollis, flat head, developmental delays, bodywork for tongue-tie, tummy time trouble-shooting, or just need some help understanding how to best support your child’s milestones we are here to support you with a focus on connection and purposeful play.

Are you ready to approach your baby’s developmental milestones with curiosity instead of concern?
MEET THE OWNER
Hi, I’m Dr. Brita DeStefano PT, DPT, PCS
I’m a Denver based pediatric physical therapist and craniosacral fascial therapist and mom of two big kids (10 and 8). I am an expert in infant development and am passionate about helping babies feel good and move well so that they (and their families) can thrive!
After working as a physical therapist in a traditional clinic setting and becoming a parent myself, I recognized the gap in availability for proactive early intervention when infants are struggling to move and function. Progress Through Play was created to bridge that gap.
When we work together, you’re choosing a provider who will really listen to your concerns and help you find solutions and peace of mind. My approach is hands-on and individualized for each child that walks through my door. Our sessions are never rushed and are focused on helping you deeply understand your child’s body and their development while fostering purposeful play to deepen your connection. I promise to celebrate each and every bit of progress along the way and be your child’s biggest cheerleader.
My goal is to give you peace of mind and a greater understanding of your child’s development while helping them find joy in movement and feel good in their body.
"Thank you for the session today! You have no idea how much peace of mind you've given me. There's been so many things I've worried about with [my child], and after today I feel like they are all a part of this big puzzle related to her tongue tie and tightness. I'm so excited to start working with her and move toward getting her better with some of this stuff!"

Why Progress Through Play?
Ever find yourself googling infant milestones during a late night feeding session? Does your baby HATE tummy time? Have questions about your newborn’s head shape, or how to teach your baby to sit up? Confused by all the conflicting opinions on your child’s potential oral ties? We help you weed through all the noise and zero in on what your child needs to function at their best.
Babies and young kids are continuously changing and growing and can't afford for us to follow the "wait and see" model. Instead, we believe parents should be directed towards the resources and specialists who can truly validate their concerns and give them the answers and insights they deserve. Children shouldn’t be falling through the cracks. There is no need to wait for a red flag or significant delay in milestones before seeking support. Parents deserve to have peace of mind and an understanding of their child's unique developmental pathway.
Let us help you demystify development and create a deeper connection with your child through purposeful play.
“The mental load of motherhood is no joke. The milestone anxiety and mom guilt is REAL. As a ‘milestone magician’ I am able to offer peace of mind to overwhelmed parents about their child’s development. Every child evolves at their own pace and deserves support no matter where they are on their developmental journey. ”
— Dr. Brita DeStefano, owner of Progress Through Play
