🐉These are come and try sessions of a for social skills group based on Dungeons and Dragons that will be running in Term 1 2026.Using the DOTS game system, we’ll be working on turn taking, collaborative play, story telling and just a little bit of maths while hunting demons!🐉

Set in the K-Pop Demon hunters world, you can create your own idol who is trying to play their big hit, but demons keep attacking them! Will you help them save the world and put on a great show! 🐾✨

In each session we will create your own character, battle a monster (or more!) and reflect on our teamwork & strengths.

These sessions will give you taste of a 10 week program running during term time, if you're interested and your child likes the taster they can enrol in our term program.

Spots will be limited to 3 people per session! 💛

Who is this group for? 🧐

This program is tailored for children that are in middle to upper primary school or early high school and needing support with social communication. If unsure don't hesitate to ask us! 💬🐶🐾

All aboard for the 3-year milestone stop! 🚂✨

Around age three, many children experience a big jump in their communication skills — using longer sentences, asking questions, following routines, and expressing their ideas more clearly.

Milestones help guide us, but every child grows in their own beautiful way. 💛
