Quality time together
Many children have been deprived of regular social interactions and the opportunity to grow the skills typically acquired in their younger years. This laughter-generating program encourages communication, building relationships, confidence, and courage. It will also provide not only the kids but also the adults with experience in trusting they can handle what life may throw at them.
Schools, municipalities, social service agencies, event planners, and families can book a “Play with Me” program as a single event or an 8-week program.
