Description:
By participating in The Virtual Connection, children and youth will have the opportunity to foster their confidence in skills related to socializing with others, to strengthen their turn taking and sharing skills and be able to enjoy using their ingenuity and teamwork in fun activities. These activities may include virtual field trips, art challenges, mad science experiments and much more. They will have opportunities to build new and lasting relationships, and most importantly, have FUN!
Our online kids' programs do not imply non-active screen-time. We are looking to create new opportunities for parents and our facilitators to interact with kids in a structured way. Each virtual group will have 6 participants and 2 staff.
