Social Play Groups

Our school-based and community social play groups are designed for young children to work on their social skills in a small group setting. Classes focus on skills that all children need at this age and are individualized with the aid of parent and teacher input, as well as staff observations as we get to know your child.

“My son was fortunate enough to have Christie's social group offered as an enrichment at his school. We signed him up for every session! They played games to practice good sportsmanship and taking turns, and did other activities to help the kids communicate with one another in a positive way. We have seen a huge transformation in our son's engagement with his peers over the last year and a half, and we are certain that working with Christie has contributed to his growth!”
