Confidence & Connection Kickstart

An End-of-Summer Social Skills Group for Ages 6–8

Give your child the confidence to shine and the skills to connect this school year!

Is your child ready to head back to school feeling confident, understood, and prepared to make new friends? The transition to a new school year can be challenging, but they don’t have to navigate it alone. The Confidence & Connection Kickstart is a small, supportive group designed to give children ages 6–8 a fun, engaging, and meaningful boost in their social skills and self-esteem.

This group provides a safe and nurturing space for your child to learn, practice, and grow alongside peers who share similar goals. Led by our pediatric behavior specialist, Elizabeth Hanson, this program is tailored to help children build the essential tools they need for a successful and happy school year.
