SPOT Social Playgroup Opportunities for Tots


5150 Snyder Lane
Rohnert Park, California 94928

SPOT promotes a social-emotional and sensory sensitive curriculum that is nurturing and sized to meet the development needs of young children.  SPOT will assist children to stay focused, build critical social and communication skills while helping to direct exuberant energy to achieve deeper play and calmer, more productive behaviors with adults and peers.


Who should be referred to SPOT

Children with unusual or challenging behaviors and unique sensitivities to the environment would be best for enrollment in SPOT. This  includes children who are very active, feisty, anxious, delayed in development, and/or have sensory integration issues. Children coming into a new foster or adoptive placement or who struggle with transitions will find SPOT to be a good match. We are equipped to do daily observations, and  when needed, diagnosis or recommendations, informally or with a formal report.

Children who pose a risk to themselves or others will be required to come with a trained aide with whom we will confer. This could be a relative or even a parent. We will maintain a referral list.

Enrolled children may participate in 1-3 sessions per week.

Our fees are $45 per session of three hours.  Parents or guardians must pay in advance, we prefer a monthly commitment.
