Dedicated to Nurturing Every Child, Every Family, Every Day
McKibben & Monte Pediatric Therapy is proud to be recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in Central Ohio, named to the 2025 Columbus Business First Fast 50. The Fast 50 award honors the fastest-growing privately held companies in Central Ohio, based on verified revenue growth over the last three years.
This recognition reflects not only our rapid growth but also our unwavering commitment to children, families, and communities.
Founded in 2018 by Cindy McKibben and Jenny Monte, McKibben & Monte began with a simple mission: to build children’s confidence through language, literacy, and learning. What started as the merger of two small private practices has quickly grown into one of the region’s leading pediatric therapy providers.
Today, McKibben & Monte has expanded into nine markets across Ohio, Kentucky, Florida, and Michigan with a team of more than 75 therapists serving nearly 100 schools and daycares. By delivering services directly within trusted learning environments, we eliminate barriers to care, helping children thrive where they are most comfortable.
Our growth has been guided by these key principles:
This model ensures that children receive care sooner, more consistently, and in an environment that supports real-world learning.
In just five years, McKibben & Monte has grown patient visits from 1,500 to more than 13,000 each year, reflecting both rising demand and our proven ability to scale without sacrificing quality.
More importantly, these numbers represent thousands of children gaining the confidence, skills, and support they need for long-term success in school and in life.
At the heart of our growth is a child-first philosophy. We focus on early intervention, partnering with families, teachers, and caregivers to create individualized therapy plans aligned with each child’s developmental needs. From speech and occupational therapy to feeding support and IEP/AEP collaboration, every plan is designed to help children be kindergarten-ready and beyond.
We also prioritize therapist development, offering cutting-edge tools, mentorship, and professional growth opportunities. This ensures that the high quality of care families expect is matched by an equally strong culture of excellence among our team.
As a privately held, women-owned company headquartered in Central Ohio, McKibben & Monte continues to expand thoughtfully and strategically. New locations in Ohio, Florida, Northern Kentucky, and Michigan are already underway while we’re expanding to even more new markets, ensuring more families can access the services they need quickly, conveniently, and compassionately.
The Fast 50 honor is not just a recognition of growth. It’s a celebration of the children we serve, the families we support, the therapists who drive our mission, and the partnerships we’ve built.
