What others are saying...
“This might be my favorite small group curriculum. I LOVE the structure and all of the included resources are incredibly helpful.”
“LOVE!!! I couldn’t say better things about this group plan. Each lesson is fun and interactive. They follow a similar predictable pattern, which is good for the kiddos with high anxiety coming to the group. While similar, they are different enough to keep attention. I’ve had so much fun teaching these lessons.”
“We have been using this resource for about 5 weeks now and it has a made a big improvement in students initiating interactions with their peers. Great resource! Thank you!”
