Register NOW for 2022:
Winter Children’s Social Groups

(In Person)

Our Winter Programming is ready to launch in January! Our Social Groups will focus on providing a structured environment for children to practice social skills and interact with peers in their age group. Various activities will be provided week to week and supporting staff will facilitate interaction between participants and transitions between activities.

Every other Thursday from January 20th - March 3rd, we have two options for times:

• Option 1: 5:00 - 6:00 pm
• Option 2: 6:15 - 7:15 pm

*Groups will be limited to 12 participants per session out of caution. Once a group has reached 12 registered participants, a waitlist will be started. If you sign up for the waitlist, you will be contacted in the event of an open spot for a session.

Email Tyler if you have any questions!

NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors, these events are complimentary/free for our families

NEW in 2022! Parent/Caregiver Roundtable
(Virtual)

Parent/Caregiver Roundtables provide an opportunity to get together and ask questions; share resources; and build connections with other parents and caregivers. These groups will run from 5:15 to 6:00 pm (every other Thursday), but parents and caregivers are more than welcome to continue the conversation with others beyond the official end time.

These groups are held on the off weeks of our Children’s In-Person Social Group, and will be hosted virtually in order to allow flexibility for parents and caregivers. Your child does not have to be attending the Children’s In-Person Group or any other services for you to attend our Virtual Parent and Caregiver Roundtables.

NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors, these events are complimentary/FREE for our families.
