Building Skills for Play, Sports & Teamwork

MeBe’s Play & Sports Readiness Program helps children build the skills and confidence to participate more successfully in playground activities, recreational sports, and group play. Through fun, structured activities, children practice taking turns, following directions, playing alongside others, learning game rules, and building coordination and teamwork.

The program gives children opportunities to practice these skills in a supportive setting, helping them feel more comfortable and confident joining activities with their peers.

“Through structured play, games, and sports activities, your child can practice taking turns, following rules, working as a team, and joining in with peers—building the skills and confidence to participate more successfully on the playground, in sports, and during everyday play.”

Social Skills Programs

Our early intervention group helps children learn the ins and outs of group interactions during key years of development. Children practice skills that are ideal for preschool, like pretend play, cooperative play, greetings, and responding to requests from peers.

School-age children build on skills learned in the preschool group, initiating and responding to social interactions in a play-filled setting. Your child will learn how to sustain social play, take turns, and follow group instructions, for an easier transition between home and school.

For older kids, the “Hangout” group is perfect for your child’s transition from elementary to middle school. This engaging group helps to navigate change and builds more complex skills such as conflict resolution, problem solving, unstructured social time, and conversation.

As your child grows and becomes more independent, we embrace their uniqueness and help them do the same. Community Access Program (CAP) meetups focus on social problem solving, community interactions, and navigating social norms and social media.

Watch this recorded MeBe Learning webinar to learn strategies to help your child develop social skills through play with siblings and peers.
