This new year, we are thrilled to offer three social skills groups designed to help your children practice and master their social skills!
Our social skills groups are separated by age and limited in size to ensure that each child will have their own individualized goals to work on within the group setting!
Here’s what we’re offering:
- Ages 4-5
- Ages 6-8
- Ages 9-11
Throughout this process, we are mindful of busy school schedules. That’s why we have designed our programs through a time-sensitive lens that caters to those who desire to move through each step quickly and efficiently.

Social skills are essential for future success in all aspects of life! In addition to giving your children the tools they need to be prepared for a lifetime of healthy social interaction with others, our group provides children with strategies for developing self-regulation and building a solid core of self-esteem and self-confidence to navigate situations with peers in the home and in life.
Here are just some of the topics we will be covering:
Effective Communication, Empathy, Compromising, Patience, Active Listening, Body Language, Respecting Personal Space, Apologizing, Eye Contact, Taking Turns. Following Directions, Staying on Task, and Resolving Conflict
