Arts & Crafts (fine motor planning and skill building with the OT that includes painting, pre-writing skills, cutting, gluing, sensory play, and more.)
Movement Games (dancing, parachute play, obstacle courses, gross motor games facilitated by the OT targeting motor planning, balance, jumping, body control, body awareness, and regulation)
Star Time (five minutes reserved at the end to practice mindfulness and deep breathing before seeing our caregivers)
