A child's performance in school, and later in the workplace, is dependent on many factors. Children must be socially comfortable in the classroom setting so that they can attend to the lesson, interact in cooperative learning groups, and feel confident to take intellectual risks. Outside of school, they must interact with people from all walks of life and navigate through various social settings. At Friendzone, we teach basic socialization skills to children who may need extra help in this area. The children implement these skills in supportive, fun-filled sessions led by NYS certified teachers.
