KWalk Kids is growing—and we’re looking for a pediatric PT who is passionate about early intervention and aligned with our core values: positivity, collaboration, compassion, excellence, family, growth, and play.
About Us
At KWalk Kids, our mission is to empower families through hands-on coaching, routine-based interventions, and purposeful play—helping children reach their full potential through movement, milestones, and meaningful connection.
We’ve built a culture that values flexibility, support, and sustainability—so you can do exceptional work without burnout. We offer paid training, mentorship, and a collaborative team environment where you can truly grow.

- Attend bimonthly meetings and optional team events (journal club, happy hours, escape rooms)
You’re a Great Fit If You:
- Love working with infants, toddlers, children, and their families
- Are personable, flexible, creative & positive
- Are well versed in gross motor milestones (0–3 years and beyond), handling skills, and can transform PT into play
