INCREDIBLE FLEXIBLE YOU: This 6-week group is designed for children ages 5–8 to help them build social thinking skills and flexible behavior across different settings—at home, at school, and out in the world.

Through engaging activities and discussion, children learn to recognize the difference between stuck and flexible thinking. We explore concepts like responsible decision-making, following group plans, and identifying when we feel stuck—so we can practice “flexing” and respond in more adaptive, prosocial ways.

By increasing self-awareness and building practical strategies, kids gain the tools they need to navigate social situations with more confidence and cooperation.

EMOTION EXPLORERS: This 6-week group supports young children (ages 4–8) in understanding and expressing the full range of their emotions—especially those big feelings that can sometimes feel overwhelming or difficult to manage.

Using a color-coded framework inspired by the Zones of Regulation curriculum in combination with science-based grounding techniques, children learn to identify how different emotions feel in their bodies and build confidence in naming and grounding those feelings. We learn about our our sympathetic (stress response: fight, flight, freeze) and parasympathetic nervous systems (rest & digest/our calm down system) in age and developmentally appropriate ways. Through playful, activities, stories, and guided discussions, we foster emotional awareness while introducing simple calming tools to support self-regulation and prosocial behavior.

Our goal is to help each child develop the ability to pause, notice what they’re feeling, and respond in ways that help them feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

IN THE ZONE, 8-10: This group is designed for children ages 8–10 who are learning to navigate a broader range of emotions, manage growing responsibilities, and handle more complex social dynamics. Expanding beyond the Zones of Regulation, participants will deepen their understanding of emotions by identifying how feelings show up in their bodies, recognizing emotional patterns, and learning how to respond in ways that support focus, calm, and positive interactions. Through interactive activities, reflective discussions, and practical tools, kids will explore how to manage "big feelings," build resilience, and strengthen their ability to stay grounded and connected—even during stressful or challenging moments. The group encourages self-awareness, emotional vocabulary, and peer connection—all essential skills for thriving at home, in school, and in friendships.

BRAIN POWER BUILDERS: Have you heard your child say, “I can’t do this!” or “It’s too hard!”? Or maybe they’re avoiding certain subjects or challenges at school?

This small group helps children develop a growth mindset, build perseverance, and approach challenges with more confidence. Through interactive activities, games, and guided discussions, kids will learn how their thoughts affect their actions, practice strategies for staying motivated when things get tough, and strengthen problem-solving and resilience skills.

Ideal for students who could use a boost in self-confidence, especially in social or academic situations, and who are ready to see challenges as opportunities to grow.

CONFIDENT CONNECTIONS: This group is designed for children ages 8–10 who are looking to strengthen their social skills, build lasting friendships, and grow more confident in their interactions with peers. Through fun, structured activities, role-playing, games, and group discussions, participants will explore important social-emotional skills such as:

• Finding your people

• Starting and maintaining conversations

• Reading social cues and body language

• Handling conflict and misunderstandings

• Practicing empathy and perspective-taking

• Navigating peer pressure and group dynamics

The group provides a supportive environment where kids can safely practice these skills, receive gentle coaching, and build positive connections with others their age. Whether your child is shy, struggling with peer relationships, or just looking to boost their confidence in social situations, this group helps lay the foundation for more meaningful and successful friendships—both in and out of the classroom.

HACK YOUR HABITS! Executive Functioning Group: The tween and teen years come with increased expectations—more homework, shifting schedules, and greater responsibility. This group is designed to support students in grades 6–9 as they develop the executive functioning skills needed to manage school, life, and everything in between. Through interactive activities, real-life planning tools, and group discussions, students will learn strategies in areas such as:

• Time management and scheduling

• Task initiation and follow-through

• Organization of materials and spaces

• Prioritizing and breaking down assignments

• Managing distractions and improving focus

• Goal-setting and self-monitoring

Participants will be introduced to practical tools (planners, apps, checklists) and walk away with personalized strategies they can apply immediately at school and at home. The group also provides a space to share challenges, receive support, and build confidence in their ability to manage increasing demands. This group is ideal for students who may feel overwhelmed, disorganized, or are looking for more structure and support in staying on top of their responsibilities.
