Programs Offered

Below are the flagship child therapy and skills classes we offer at the 9131 Keel St office space in Vaughan and select York Region locations.

1. Play-Based Therapy for Early Development

Child therapy and skills classes focusing on play help children explore, communicate, and connect naturally. Play is a foundational way children learn about their world. With gentle guidance and structured support, our clinicians help children:

Develop social interaction
Increase expressive and receptive language
Strengthen attention and regulation

This class is ideal for toddlers and young learners who benefit from a playful environment that still builds critical developmental skills.

2. Social Skills Development Groups

Our social skills groups are dynamic child therapy and skills classes where children practice peer interaction in structured, meaningful ways. Kids learn:

How to start and maintain conversations
Turn-taking and cooperative play
Emotional recognition and empathy

These groups are especially helpful for children with social anxiety, ASD, or communication challenges.

3. Emotional Regulation and Coping Skills

Emotional awareness and regulation are core goals in our child therapy and skills classes. Through creative activities, mindfulness strategies, and guided practice, children learn to:

Identify emotions
Use coping tools
Manage frustration and transitions

This class supports emotional resilience that helps in school, playgrounds, and everyday life.

4. Functional Life Skills Workshops

Life skills are essential for independence and confidence. Our child therapy and skills classes include workshops on:

Routines (morning, bedtime, mealtime)
Personal care and hygiene
Following directions and task completion

These classes support children and their families with practical strategies for daily success.

5. Communication and Language Enrichment

Language is the bridge to connection. In our communication-focused child therapy and skills classes, clinicians help children grow abilities such as:

Vocabulary building
Sentence formation
Social communication cues

We tailor interventions to each child’s unique language profile—whether verbal, minimally verbal, or using augmentative systems.

Toddlers (ages 2–3)
Preschoolers (ages 4–5)
