Summer 2024 Program for Grades K-5
Join us for an extended version of our award-winning social skills program this Summer 2024! Picture it as the ultimate playground for kids to cultivate social growth, confidence, and success, with a safety net of support woven in.
Every week, participants will dive into a world of games and activities inspired by their interests, with plenty of time for free choice. We foster an environment where kids feel encouraged, never pressured, to explore new experiences and master the art of initiating and navigating interactions with their peers. Our program is built on a foundation of consistent social coaching, ensuring that skills are not just learned but actively practiced and applied.
While many children understand the social norms in theory, applying them in real-life situations can be challenging. That’s where our unique, in-the-moment social coaching shines. By engaging in hands-on interactions and shared experiences, we empower kids to develop their social skills authentically. We recognize that unstructured activities can be particularly daunting for some children, so our coaching equips them with the insights, tools, and advice needed to generalize these skills across various settings.
Our program runs three times a week, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 9:00 AM to Noon. Choose from one or more of the eight weeks available.
Payment is due on the first day of each program week, with no deposit required. Tuition for a summer program week is $425 (accepted via check, Venmo, or Zelle), or take advantage of our cash discount at $400/week (receipt available upon request).
Located at my antique farmhouse in the picturesque area of Boxborough, our outdoor setting provides the perfect backdrop for play in all weather conditions. In case of extreme or inclement weather, we have a cozy indoor clubhouse space stocked with table games and activities.
Participants are expected to bring their own water bottles and nut-free snacks.

“The summer program was perfect for my 6-year-old. He loved it and received a lot of social coaching at the same time. I loved that they spent so much time outdoors in a beautiful setting with many fun activities to choose from. I also greatly appreciated the multiple coaches who supported, entertained, and interacted with the kids. Donna gave me detailed feedback over the course of the week/summer which was so helpful. We look forward to going back! ” – C.H.
