About the Class

PlaySkills has different classes and play-groups designed for students 2-12 years old. The overall goal of PlaySkills is to nourish the social-emotional development of children at a young age.

In PlaySkills, students develop confidence by learning fun simple skills and playing together. We want students to experience their own growth, so they’re empowered by it! Students are encouraged to get out of their shell, to be brave, to play hard and be silly, while remaining respectful and honoring their best effort. Ultimately, we want students to know how they can create positive experiences and social interactions, so they can form healthy relationships, and have better overall life wellness.
