Grow, Connect, and Communicate in Social Skills Classes
At The Kid Connection, we understand that developing healthy peer relationships and strong self-awareness is just as vital as academic success. Our Social Skills Classes offer guided, intentional instruction that helps children navigate social situations, grow emotionally, and learn to build lasting friendships. Designed to be engaging and encouraging, these group-based sessions allow students to gain confidence while practicing critical skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Thoughtful. Personalized. Child-Led.
A Safe Space to Be Seen, Heard, and Supported
Our therapy sessions are built around the individual child. Whether through traditional talk therapy or age-appropriate play and activity-based counseling, we tailor each session to match developmental needs and emotional goals. We also work closely with parents to ensure support continues at home and school, creating a wraparound experience that encourages lasting growth.

What Our Student's Families Are Saying About TKC Social Skills Classes
My son, began his journey at The Kid Connection with social skills classes. He looked forward to his weekly classes as it was a safe place for him to grow emotionally and socially. His teachers were so very loving, used his interests to keep him engaged, and met him where he was. We felt he would further benefit from The Kid Connection’s unique holistic approach to learning and development so we enrolled him in The Kid Connection University model school, electives, and summer programs. TKCU is a safe place for our son to learn and grow in all areas of his development, and is an incredible blessing to him and our family. We are so thankful that God led our family to The Kid Connection.
