This group will focus on early developing skills such as greetings, sharing, turn taking, requesting and staying in play with peers, as well as pretend play with a fun beach theme.

Underwater Adventures

Our “underwater” group will focus on conversation skills such as:  greetings, staying on topic, learning about friends by asking questions, commenting, taking turns, and sharing with an under the sea theme.  Children will have a take home “research” project for their favorite underwater creature.  They will then have a chance to share their project with the group during the last session. 

 

Team Captains

Learn great game skills in our pre-teen group.  Skills that target good sportsmanship will be the focus.  Persuasion, negotiation and team play are just a few of the skills targeted in a fun game format group.  Children will bring in a favorite game to share with the group from home on a weekly basis.
