Sound Familiar?

If any of these feel like your kid, you're in the right place

Wants to play with the other kids so badly, just hasn't figured out the "how" yet.
"My turn, my turn, MY turn" is basically a full sentence in your house.
Group settings can go from zero to overwhelmed pretty fast.
Has big things to say and just needs a little help finding the words.

Totally normal. And totally something we can practice together.

What It Is

A social skills group that actually feels like play

No worksheets. No table-and-chairs "class." Just real play, in real settings, where your child practices connecting, and you learn exactly how to keep it going at home.

🌱

Naturalistic & play-based

Your child practices starting play, taking turns, and real back-and-forth conversation, all in the middle of actually having fun.

🤝

You're coached too

This is caregiver-led. You're not on the sidelines. You learn the coaching moves in real time, so the skills stick long after the group ends.

📍

Center + community

Twice a month at our San Leandro center, twice a month at a local park, library, or play area, so skills travel into real life.

More Than Just a Group

Every family gets the whole toolkit

No matter which option you choose, enrolling comes with real extras designed to support your child well beyond our 8 weeks together.

Is This Right for My Child?

Built for kids ages 5 to 7

This group is a great fit if your child:

  • Is between 5 and 7 years old
  • Communicates using full sentences
  • Wants to connect with other kids, and could use a little help with the "how"
  • Has a parent or caregiver who can join and participate in sessions

Not quite a match right now? Reach out anyway. We're building future groups (including one for early learners who use AAC, ASL, and emerging speech), and we'd love to add your family to the list.

Led by an Expert Who Cares

Designed and led by Tiffany Nguyen, MS, BCBA

Every session is personally designed and led by Tiffany, our founder and lead Board Certified Behavior Analyst, so your family works directly with an experienced clinician from day one.

Quick Questions

The things parents usually ask

Do you take insurance?

Yes! We work with insurance-funded families, Self-Determination Program (SDP) budgets, and families paying privately. Insurance requires prior authorization, so the earlier you reach out, the smoother your start. Our team walks you through every step.

Is this a drop-off program?

Nope, and that's the whole point. A parent or consistent caregiver attends and participates in every session. That's what makes the skills actually stick at home, at school, and everywhere in between.

When and where does it meet?

Our next cohort starts the first week of August and runs 8 weeks. We meet at our San Leandro center and at local community spots within about 20 minutes. Once the group fills, we set the weekly day around what works for enrolled families.

What does it cost?

We offer a few flexible options to fit different families. Reach out and our team will send over full pricing details along with everything that's included.
