Social Groups for Children

Social Play Group

The purpose of the F.U.S.E. Social Groups are to support children as they develop and understand social engagement, social collaboration and communication with peers. Each social group has 2-4 children with one highly trained veteran teacher. Each child is paired with developmentally appropriate peer matches. The group works toward a common goal at the same time as children are supported in their individual growth. All groups are play based and relationship focused. The teacher utilizes pretend play, movement activities and games, to help children appreciate, connect and enjoy their peers. The overall goal of the group is increasing each child’s motivation to want to share enjoyment with peers, social problem solving, co-regulation, social communication, collaboration, and flexibility to name a few areas.
