Diapers, pull-ups, healthy food including breakfast, lunch and snacks, and early drop-off (7:00 am) are ALL INCLUDED in the tuition.

We follow an earth schooling curriculum similar to that of Waldorf education, the learning process is essentially threefold, engaging head, heart, and hands-or thinking, feeling, and doing. We ask questions and treat each little like a child who knows the answers and wants to think for themselves, We explore learning through hands-on crafts designed to inspire the imagination, some ideas we can give you are watercolor paintings creating pics of what we see in nature while being guided by a story. Story time with puppets or with small wooden figurines on a nature table, stories that inspire kids to understand the seasons and the beauty of life. We move through the seasons with games, arts, and stories that promote cultural diversity by exploring different languages and cultural holidays. We explore mindfulness with yoga games and practice teaching kids how to listen to their hearts through games that inspire the understanding of using your intuition. We also love to inspire healthy eating habits and offer two healthy organic snacks a day, we learn table manners and work towards teaching kids to help clean up after themselves through song.

Does your child struggle with what to say and when to say things? Do they have trouble making friends? Do they have anxiety in everyday public situations? If so then Social Circle is the place for you! Social Circle is a safe place where your child can truly shine! We are licensed professionals with 18 years of combined experience with the special needs population. We understand the importance for building skills to build friendships and we are here to support your child with their unique journey. We offer fun, engaging, real-life community outings with similar peers to help them with their social interactions, regulating emotions, interacting with adults/other kids, and much more! Our groups are ran in different locations within the community to expose your child to situations they would naturally come into contact with (i.e. bowling alleys, parks, restaurants, libraries, dance studios, etc.) It's easy to master skills in a room when interacting with a trained adult who is prompting and modeling, but to transfer those skills with same-aged peers in large open spaces with the hustle and bustle of a group of people, is very hard to carry over. We help generalize learned skills to everyday interactions with peers and build confidence so your child can decrease anxiety, build better relationships and stay true to their most authentic self. All while having fun within the community! If you're ready to get social sign up today! ***Space is limited, please keep in mind before registering that we currently run groups in different locations each day so your child won't always be in one city. Pick ups and drop offs are not provided at this time. We run groups in San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Concord, Pleasant Hill, area. We do our best to keep the community outings within the middle for all of the participants in the group.*** For more information please visit our website at www.socialcircleadventures.com or you may email us with any questions.
