Join us tomorrow morning for Learn & Play!

What is it?
This one hour class is for 0-5 year olds and their caregiver(s). This is a great opportunity to have your child experience social and play opportunities with other children in a small setting. Your child will get to enjoy our playroom, arts/crafts, sensory play, reading/quiet play and activities that promote early cognitive and learning skills. Each class typically has a topic that will be discussed. We do this through play and engaging in casual conversation, allowing caregivers to learn something new, share their experiences if they are familiar with the topic and to leave with resources about the subject.

Tomorrow's class is about Social Stories! Social stories are stories that are designed to teach children skills in fun ways. They can be used for developmental milestones (i.e., potty training), social skills (i.e., making a new friend), behavior challenges (i.e., keeping hands to self) and so much more.

Class is one hour and is only $5 per child (1year+, under 1 is free).

Let us know if you have questions! See you tomorrow!

November 3rd-7th is National School Psychology Week!

During the week of November 3-7, the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and schools across the United States will celebrate the 2025 National School Psychology Week (NSPW). This week celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the important role they play in schools and communities. NSPW is an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists' work to help children thrive in school, at home, and in life. This year's theme, "Finding Your Path," reflects the ways that school psychologists help students, families, and school communities set and achieve their goals.

If you know a school psychologist, be sure to thank them! Whether we are in the schools or in a private setting (or both!), our goal is always to advocate for your children, evaluate them to the best of our abilities, work closely with teachers, principals, counselors and families to ensure that we are helping children thrive at school, at home and in the community!
