Playhouse Pals, meeting the social needs of our elementary school aged kiddos!
We meet on the 4th Saturday of each month from 12:30 – 2 pm. Jordan and Amelia, always have super fun activities and we love to see new friends, ages 6 to 10 approx. This program supports the development of social skills and language through peer to peer interaction in casual and fun setting. This program also supports gross motor, fine motor and self-help skills.
Goals:
Increase social skill, with a focus on group participation and increasing leisure activity options
Increase language development, with a focus on vocabulary development, receptive language skills such as following directions and answering basic questions
Promote successful interactions with peers
Increase gross motor skills, with a focus on general health, strength, balance and utilizing motor skills to participate in educational, social and leisure activities
Increase fine motor skills, with a focus on self-help skills and independent work

Hi, can my daughter participate in this class? She is 5 & 1/2 yrs. Old. We would like for her to have group social setting such as this.
If not is there anything else such as this for her to participate in?
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hi Sherry, we typically have kiddos between 9 to 14 or so for that group of programs. Typically that age would participate in leaps and bounds or friends fun fitness. if you feel that she might benefit from Playhouse Pals you are welcome to try it.. It follows a STEM and Cooking program and many of the kids are here for multiple programs, sot he times sort of meld into one another. if you would like to have a more appropriate aged program, what type of activities do you envision for your daughter, what types of things does she like to do? Maybe we could launch a younger version of playhouse pals.
Thank you for any insights that you could provide.
Hi,
My son is 12yrs of age and was diagnosed with Mosaic Down Syndrome, would it be ok if he attended your program? Also, are there any schools in the ATL area for children that are dx with Down syndrome to learn, grow and receive daily living skills and therapy (without the hassle of public school districts that are more concern with budget rather than providing the resources & services needed to accommodate said child)??? Thank you kindly.
