SunnyDays Therapy Occupational & Speech Therapy
Albertville, Chanhassen, Edina, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Monticello, Waconia

SunnyDays Therapy was established to provide pediatric Occupational and Speech therapy to help infants, toddlers, children and young adults with a variety of diagnoses and needs achieve milestones, independence and confidence in their play, self-help, social, motor, cognitive, feeding and eating, sensory skills and speech and language skills. SunnyDays Therapy strives to help children reach their maximum potential by using a variety of techniques and approaches in a fun and motivating learning environment that is unique to each individual. After meeting you and your child, we develop a specialized treatment plan that will cater to your child's needs. Our team is trained to develop optimal teaching methods for your child based on their personality and unique needs. Goal areas that are often targeted include self care skills such as dressing, tying shoes, brushing teeth, washing face, bathing/showering, combing hair, feeding, and a variety of other self help and grooming skills. Fine motor skills are also addressed, including developing strength and coordination in hands for grasp, writing, coloring, drawing, playing, and cutting. Gross motor skills often include jumping, running, hopping, crawling, rolling, climbing, catching and throwing, and riding a tricycle or bike. Sensory integration issues are also addressed, and sensory diets may be established for your child, based on their needs. Our team understands that each child and their family is unique. Each child is different, but our years of hands-on experience has provided us with the skills and resources needed to teach your child to function at his or her most optimal level.

Sometimes prep time is for paperwork.
And sometimes prep time looks like this.

Here, one of our therapists is learning a complex executive functioning, fine motor, and visual craft — all because a client asked to learn it as a special way to celebrate her birthday. 🎉

Putting our clients first often means stepping outside our comfort zone, learning new skills, and thoughtfully preparing so sessions feel meaningful, joyful, and just right for them. The care our team pours into each child and each session is something truly special — and moments like this capture that heart perfectly.

Valentine’s Day may be over, but we’re still feeling the love over here! 💌

Our Maple Grove team brought back a classic Valentine exchange, complete with decorated bags, sweet notes, and lots of appreciation. Everyone decorated their own bag (some of us got a little help from our clients 😉), and throughout the week teammates dropped in treats and notes to show appreciation for one another. It was such a sweet way to celebrate!

Blowing a bubble mountain is such a fun way to work on breathing, regulation, eye convergence, and more! 🫧

For extra fun, scoop up the bubbles and blow them into the air when you’re done — it’s snowing! ❄️
Keeping kids engaged while building important skills — it’s our pleasure!

Sometimes you need an entire bucket of Play-Doh tools to get a project just right!

We’re using Play-Doh to bring describing words (adjectives) to life — squishy, smooth, bumpy, long, tiny. As children build, touch, and talk about what they create, vocabulary becomes meaningful and fun.

Hands-on learning helps words stick and keeps engagement high!

It’s always a good idea to share the love!

At our Maple Grove clinic, we have a Valentine’s Day wall where clients and clinicians can share the things they love most. From chicken nuggets to family members, walking past this wall always brings smiles — and sets the tone for a great therapy session.

A little joy goes a long way!

Natalie, one of our wonderful speech-language pathologists, has a deep love for books and being a mom — and this moment captures both perfectly.

“For All About Authors month, I had the chance to read some of my favorite books in Kayce’s classroom at New Creations Child Care & Learning Center. There is nothing better than blending life as a mom with my work as a speech-language pathologist — just one piece of what makes this profession so meaningful.”

We love celebrating the many ways our therapists bring their passions into the lives of the kids and communities they serve.

Members of our Waconia team had a fun and energizing morning at the Norwood–Young America High School Career Fair!

They connected with middle and high school students over Nerd Clusters and the popular “Say the Word on Beat” trend — a big hit with help from our speech therapists. 😄

We were so impressed by the thoughtful questions and loved seeing the growing interest in therapy professions. The future is bright — YAY!

At SunnyDays, we’re growth-minded. We’re always trying new things—new ways to support kids, new games to motivate learning, and new techniques backed by evidence to better serve our clients. Today’s “new” is simple: trying a Bubblr flavor we’ve never had before. Big or small, new things are always an exciting exploration—and that mindset carries into everything we do.

Okay, but the real question… what’s the verdict?

Side by side, turn by turn!

While playing the fishing game, we practiced taking turns, staying engaged, and celebrating progress together.

Can you guess whose turn it is?!

I’m always amazed by the creativity our team brings into each session — finding the just-right challenge and creating a safe, supportive space for kids to explore, build confidence, and learn. 💛

During this OT session, our therapist supported a client who is working toward feeling more comfortable with outdoor play — an area that can bring anxiety for this child. Through thoughtful setup and encouragement, play became a place to practice confidence and growth.

Making speech therapy fun through pretend play!

We fed our tiger, matched colors, practiced WH-questions (what, who, where), and built categorization skills by sorting foods into groups like meat, vegetables, and fruit. Uffdah — this little one sure accomplished a lot in one session! 💛

Play-based learning keeps kids engaged while building meaningful communication skills.
