Join the PlayHouse and Active Minds for a four-week social-emotional health program that will build a closer connection with your child. While your child engages in play activities centered around understanding their own emotions, you can join us for a separate session to discuss how best to support your child’s range of emotions.
It can be hard to control our emotions at times. Your child will learn different strategies they can use to keep their emotions under control.
Happening Every Saturday in February from 10 am to 11 am
- February 4th: The Emotional Me
- February 11th: You’ve Got a Friend in Me
- February 18th: The Gratitude Attitude
