PEERS® for Preschoolers is an evidence-based social skills program designed for children ages 4 to 6 who struggle with making and keeping friends. Developed at UCLA, this program provides a fun and supportive environment where children learn essential social and play skills. To participate, children should be able to use basic words to express themselves, follow simple directions, sit for short periods, and manage mild frustration. They should also show some interest in playing with others. Parent involvement is a key part of the program. While children learn social skills in their own small group sessions, parents attend concurrent coaching sessions. These sessions teach parents how to reinforce social skills at home and in everyday situations, helping children practice and apply what they learn. The program runs for 12 weeks in small group sessions, using role-playing, social coaching, play-based learning, and behavioral modeling. Families also receive homework assignments to support continued practice outside of class. Children develop skills such as starting conversations, taking turns, sharing, playing cooperatively, managing emotions, reading social cues, and responding to teasing or exclusion. By combining structured lessons, play, and active parent participation, PEERS® for Preschoolers helps children build confidence in social interactions and form meaningful friendships.

It also focuses on self-regulation, helping students manage their emotions in social situations. The program runs for 12 weeks with weekly sessions that last 1 hour. Each session introduces a new social skill, which students practice through role-playing and real-life scenarios. There is also a homework component, encouraging students to practice these skills at home with the support of their parents. This helps reinforce learning and build real-world confidence. To participate, students should be able to follow basic instructions, engage in simple conversations, and show some interest in socializing with others. The program works best for students who are motivated to improve their social skills and are ready to learn. By the end of the program, students typically see improved peer relationships, greater social confidence, and better emotional regulation. These skills help students feel more comfortable in social situations and build stronger, lasting friendships.

The Generalization module can help identify areas to target for skill development to promote the emergence of generalized, flexible, and adaptive language skills that will open the door to many new experiences. The equivalence module evaluates a learner’s current ability to derive novel responses that have never been directly taught. The transformation assessment establishes a learner’s current ability to expressively and receptively relate events in a variety of contexts that promote learning.

Interactive art sessions for early learners focusing on imitation, direction-following, fine motor skills, and

Appropriate for children 3-5 years old.

This group uses structured mindfulness activities as a foundation for building communication, social, and creative skills through art. Learners engage in guided breathing and sensory awareness exercises at the start of each session to support focus and emotional regulation, creating conditions for more independent participation throughout the activity. Within each session, learners practice following multi-step group instructions, planning and sequencing their projects, sharing materials with peers, and describing their completed work. Mindfulness-based transitions are used between activities to support flexible responding and reduce prompt dependency. Learners also build tolerance for unexpected outcomes in their art, and practice labeling emotions, themes, and visual elements as they create. Together, these experiences target meaningful functional skills across communication, peer interaction, and self-management in a naturalistic group setting.
