We lead with compassion, empathy, and a neuro-affirming approach, supporting meaningful progress through play-based interventions.

Whether in our play studio, at home, or out in the community, we believe real growth happens through connection, creativity, and fun.

Enrichment classes
Enrichment classes
Our enrichment classes are rooted in evidence-based practices and designed to help children grow their confidence in real-life interactions. Led by our therapists, these groups help kids learn how to share, take turns, express their feelings, and connect with peers in meaningful ways—all while having fun. Each group is tailored to developmental needs, giving children the tools to thrive socially while having fun in a welcoming, supportive environment.
