Through guided activities such as movement games, creative play, sensory exploration, music, and shared problem-solving, participants are gently encouraged to strengthen a wide range of developmental areas—including cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation, social communication, motor coordination, and self-awareness.

Each class session is thoughtfully tailored to the strengths, interests, and sensory needs of the individuals in the group. Our approach is flexible and responsive, allowing students to engage at their own pace, build trusting relationships, and feel safe taking social and emotional risks.

Activities are designed to encourage:

• Joint attention and shared enjoyment

• Back-and-forth communication and connection

• Emotional understanding and self-regulation

• Creative thinking and flexible problem-solving

• Motor planning and sensory integration

• Confidence and independence in a group setting

This relationship-based class emphasizes the process over performance, valuing exploration and co-regulation as essential building blocks for learning. Whether a student is working on connecting with peers, tolerating new experiences, or finding their voice in play, they’ll be supported with care, respect, and curiosity.

Play, Connect & Grow is ideal for individuals who benefit from intentional, play-based support in developing the early capacities needed for more complex social, emotional, and academic learning.
