  • When Building Blocks piloted their program at our preschool, I […] was noticing a lot of the conflict in my group of four year olds stemmed from a lack of social skills. Three of my students participated in the program and after the first visit they often asked when it was time to go back. […]

    I would highly recommend this program to any student that would benefit from some more direct coaching on social skills.

  • “The Building Blocks program has been a wonderful way to help children who need a little support with social skills. The way that Katrinca works in our school […] makes it easier for both the children and families […] Katrinca’s work [aligns] with our own goals for the children, and our teachers feel supported as well!
    It has been a game changer to have an in-house social skills group!”
    — AD, director at Old Firehouse School, Lafayette, CA
  • Over time, I noticed the strategies [the children] picked up being utilized to facilitate problem resolution and cooperative play. Collaborating with the therapist that ran the group gave me more insight into my students and some helpful information for moving forward with my relationship with those families. I noticed the bonds between the kids that went to Building Blocks were stronger as well.
    I would highly recommend this program to any student that would benefit from some more direct coaching on social skills!
