G.I.F.T. Structured Play & Social Skills Program

Fostering confidence, cooperation, and social connection.

The G.I.F.T. Structured Play & Social Skills Program provides children ages 3–8 with guided opportunities to engage in social and peer interaction, group cooperation, and positive play behaviors in a safe, supervised environment.

Through structured group activities and guided play, children have the opportunity to learn how to engage with others, follow directions, and navigate everyday social situations in a supportive setting.

While children participate in structured activities, families can use this time to attend appointments, work responsibilities, or other commitments.

  • Sharing and playing with others
  • Waiting to take turns
  • Following game/art instructions
  • Moving from one activity to the next
