Helping kids — and the adults who support them — grow real-world social skills and confidence.
Friendship shouldn’t feel clinical or complicated.
Welcome!
I offer private social skills coaching for kids at my antique farmhouse in Boxborough, MA — complete with indoor and outdoor spaces designed for real play and social learning.
During the school year, I offer award-winning social groups for children in Grades K–6. Older students can join the Junior Coach-in-Training (JCIT) Program for Grades 7-12, where they step into leadership roles while mentoring younger kids. Each summer, I also offer friendship-focused programs for children and teens.
Our setting is welcoming, playful, and deliberately unstructured — creating a real-time social coaching environment where kids can practice the skills that matter most for friendship and confidence.
Does your child need help with…
- learning to stick up for themselves
- managing “too much silly”
- building confidence
- reading social cues
- solving peer conflicts
- joining in and staying in play
This is the place where they’ll gain those skills. It’s non-clinical social skills support — because friendship shouldn’t feel clinical or complicated.

What Sets Our Social Coaching Apart
At the Peter Pan Center, we coach kids in social skills through real play and in-the-moment guidance — never clinical treatment. Many children simply need non-clinical coaching, mentoring, and practice — not therapy — to grow the skills they find challenging. Think of it as social tutoring for kids: the same kind of targeted help you’d give a child who struggles with math or reading.
Our programs replicate the trickiest parts of the school day — recess, lunch, and other unstructured times — where kids often need the most support. We provide a fun, supportive social coaching “safety net” where kids can try, learn, and build real friendships and confidence.
Every child is an individual. There’s no one-size-fits-all curriculum here — just warm, responsive coaching that meets each child where they are.
