Summer 2024 Classes
Classes begin the week of June 10, 2024
Our sensory-filled summer social classes are created with your kiddos in mind. Each group is therapist-created led and designed around ideas from our families here at My Recess.
What to expect! Week ONE is always a get-to-know-you week, which allows our therapists to learn about each child and plan for the dynamic of upcoming classes. This is our way of saying, the first day may be a little wild while we learn our summer crew! 😊 At the end of each class, your therapist will either reach out or send a take-home activity to help carry over what your child is working on in the group.Â
You can also reach out to your class leader at any time for extra information.

What a better way to spend this summer than mastering the skill of bike riding!

Little Chatter Boxes
Thursdays
9 a.m. for ages 2.5-3
10 a.m. for ages 4-5
Location: Elgin & St. Charles
Focus: Increase social skills, language, play skills, and be creative!
This group is designed to facilitate the development and generalization of speech, language, social-pragmatic, and play skills within a safe and naturalistic environment. The goal of the group is to create a fun, energetic, and nurturing environment in which preschool-age children can explore and develop their communicative competence with other peers. It is through play that children learn language, so retaining these language skills happens more quickly when the child is having fun. Join Ms. Janna and Miss Josie for stories, taking turns, playing, developing language and fun-filled chatter!
Social Side-Kicks
Ages 7-9
Wednesdays at 3 p.m.
Location: St. Charles
Focus: Increase social skills, develop social problem-solving skills, and HAVE FUN!
Join us for FUN activities sparking social conversation and friendships. Peers will navigate social challenges with support from peers and Miss Meghan!
