Item Description

One free admission provides your child with an opportunity to attend a fun and educational socialization playgroup. Our classes are small and were designed to help children experience social interaction in a fun but supportive manner. Our therapists focus on helping children organize, attend to verbal cues, and participate in structured activities for improving skills in communication and socialization. The classes are particularly helpful for children who may still be learning language skills or have difficulty socializing with their peers.

Playgroups are for children ages 2-4 years.
