Group Therapy
Since children learn best from active exploration of their environment, play is necessary for building a healthy foundation of a child’s development. As parents, you already use daily attuned interactions and play to teach your children about how the world operates. This allows them to practice such skills as problem solving, logical thinking (cause and effect), and relationship building with you. Similarly, children’s interactions with their peers gives them opportunities to practice and master the skills that they have already developed from playing with you. They are constantly learning about emotions, empathy, turn taking, and sharing, all of which are the basic building blocks of robust socio-emotional development.
Our playgroups span over the course of eight weeks and each week’s session is an hour and a half long. We offer two playgroups according to age ranges and they are open to early learners of all abilities and caregivers of all degrees of playfulness. Siblings, grandparents, and other play lovers are welcome. The more, the merrier.
