Social Skills Groups (The Koch Center)
Social Skills Groups at The Koch Center are designed to developmentally address the needs of children in a safe, supported, and structured environment.
These are the grade groupings* of the social skills groups at The Koch Center:
- Nursery-PreK (Coed Groups)
- Grades K-2 (Coed and Single Sex Groups)
- Grades 3-5 (Coed and Single Sex Groups)
- Grades 6-8 (Coed and Single Sex Groups)
- High School Groups (Coed and Single Sex Groups)
*Occasionally, we will offer groups that differ from the groupings listed when we have clinical rationale to do so.
Groups meet for one hour per week in eight week cycles. Children are matched in terms of age and developmental level. The curriculum of each group is uniquely created based on the needs of the children in that group. Groups are led by psychologists and social workers.
Groups:
- 1st-3rd Grade - 4:30 PM-5:30 PM Monday's (Waldwick)
- 4th -6th Grade - 5 PM-6 PM Friday's (Waldwick)
- 7th-9th Grade - 5:30 PM-6:30 PM Tuesday's (Waldwick)
How are our social skills groups created?
Our social skills groups are designed to developmentally address the needs of children in a safe, supported, and structured environment. Our child treatment team of therapists reviews each group placement to ensure a proper fit. Because children interact with a wide variety of peers with different personal styles and skill sets in school, sports, activities, we ensure appropriate diversity within our groups in terms of members’ ages and skill development. Our group therapists build each group’s curriculum and goals based on the needs of the each group’s particular group members.
