Sunny Day Social Group helps children develop and practice functional social skills with peers in a small group setting. Our curriculum addresses essential skills to develop character and interpersonal skills. The curriculum was specifically developed for elementary-age children to teach them to be confident, self-aware, and good citizens at home, school, and in the community. Each week, new topics are addressed as topics are incorporated into the following weeks’ lessons for continued practice and awareness. Skills are learned through hands-on activities, arts and crafts, basic cooking, game-based learning, and real-life scenarios. Each child will create a portfolio consisting of reference pages for each topic learned during the program. This portfolio can be used as a reference to recall and maintain the skills learned during our gatherings.

Weekly Topics:

  • About Me
  • My Emotions
  • Safety Awareness
  • Taking Turns, Waiting & Having Patience
  • Personal Space Awareness
  • Conflict Resolution
  • Good Sportsmanship

Our group welcomes all abilities. We ask that all participating children can attend, participate and engage in group and independent tasks and activities with minimal assistance for the duration of the meeting. If this may be a challenge people, contact us to discuss how we may be able to accommodate your child.
