What is drama therapy for young kids?
Drama therapy uses pretend play, stories, movement, and imagination to help children explore emotions, relationships, and problem-solving. It is active and experiential rather than talk-based.
Does my child need to like acting or being in the spotlight?
No. Children are never asked to perform or put on a show. Activities are playful and flexible, and kids can engage in ways that feel comfortable for them.
What kinds of challenges does this group support?
This group supports children working on emotional regulation, peer interactions, flexibility, confidence, and expressing feelings. It can be especially helpful for kids who struggle to find words when emotions are big.
Is this group neurodivergent-affirming?
Yes. Sensory needs, different communication styles, and varied levels of participation are respected. There is no pressure to mask or conform to one way of being.
How do I know if my 5–7 year old is a good fit?
If your child enjoys pretend play, stories, or movement and needs support navigating emotions or peers, this group may be a good match. Parents are always welcome to reach out with questions.
When does the group start?
The group begins March 1, and spots are limited to keep the group supportive and relational.
