Looking for a fun, supportive, and safe space for your child to connect with peers? Our Rockin’ Friends Groups are the perfect opportunity for children to enjoy social interaction, skill-building activities, and sensory-based fun—all while providing much-needed respite for families.

Our Popular Friday Night Social Group

Every 2nd Friday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, our Social Group offers a unique chance for kids to wind down the week in a structured, engaging way. The evening includes:

  • Dinner: We often prepare something fun and delicious together, like Pizza or Pastry, giving the kids a chance to participate in a group cooking activity.
  • Movie Time: Enjoy a relaxed movie screening with friends. Or watch while you swing and play in the Gym.
  • Facilitated Activities: Our experienced staff guide the children through enjoyable and engaging activities, focusing on developing social skills and emotional regulation.
  • Gym Time: Kids have access to our gym equipment, where they can play, climb, swing, and explore to their heart’s content in a safe and controlled environment.

This program is a great way for children to spend a fun, active, and social evening, while parents can enjoy an early dinner or some much-needed respite time.

Key Features of Our Group Programs:

  • 3-Hour Drop-Off Sessions: Parents can take a break while kids enjoy a structured and supportive social environment.
  • Social Opportunities & Community Access: Children engage with peers, learn new skills, and experience community-based activities in a welcoming setting.
  • Emotional & Sensory Regulation: Activities are tailored to support emotional well-being and sensory needs, helping children feel calm, connected, and engaged.
  • 1:1 or 1:4 Staff:Child Ratios: We offer flexible support options to ensure each child receives the attention they need for a positive experience.
