Social Saplings is about developing social skills and social thinking in children ages 7-12. This is a great program for kids who have trouble socially and have mild anxiety.
Based on the We Thinkers curriculum, the Social Sprouts series helps children build fundamental social competencies and develop their readiness for group learning at school.
Welcome! Whether you are just starting to help your child or are looking for new solutions, I
can offer you guidance. I am an educator and mother who is passionate about and
experienced in supporting and facilitating social and behavioral development in young
children and teens. Namely, I support those young children and teens (ages 4-22) who present
with ADHD, depression, low support needs autism, pervasive developmental
disorder, anxiety, and other social or behavioral issues. My underlying goal is to support
students emotionally while working to help them achieve their educational goals.
Supporting special learners in their educational journey, while providing an emotionally
stimulating, and safe space is what I strive for. I offer both group and individual sessions
depending on your child’s needs. In the past, I have also held workshops for parents to help them support their children through anxiety, bullying, and social challenges.
Whatever your aim, I am here to help you navigate the journey of social and behavioral
development by fostering emotional and educational learning.
This was a great small group setting ( 4-5 kids) and my son loved his time going to play and interact with other kids, and looked forward to it every week!

My son was struggling at school with his social skills. His anxiety has dropped quite a bit since taking part in Maura’s class.

Blake has really enjoyed his time at this group. He really enjoyed the fishing game about friendship qualities. He also has been asking other kids more questions about their interests instead of just talking about himself.

I absolutely love this group for my son. I come from Aldergrove, and totally worth the drive. My son loves his Saturday’s with Maura and the group.
