Many children experience this, and it’s completely normal.

Every playgroup is made up of only 3-4 children, matched by their developmental level, ensuring that your child learns alongside peers with similar needs.
With our small group sizes, each child receives focused guidance and support from Kerri and her trained team, creating more opportunities to practice social skills.
Using the DIR Floortime approach, we create a fun, stress-free environment where children can develop emotional regulation, communication, and social skills through play.
By focusing on peer interaction, children learn to communicate, share, and participate in group activities, helping them develop key social skills that prepare them for school and beyond.
Ready to help your child find comfort and confidence in social settings? The first step is easy—schedule a free screening with one of our specialists. During this screening, we’ll:
• Discuss your child’s unique needs and challenges.
• Explore how our playgroups can support their social development.
• Tailor a plan that aligns with your goals for your child’s growth.
There’s no pressure—just an opportunity to see if our program is the right fit for your child.

We can’t wait to meet you and your child. Let’s work together to make social settings a place of joy and confidence for them.
I later accepted a supervisory position as a Head Teacher at Central Park Early Learning Center, where I supervised 7 special education preschool classrooms, consisting of students with multiple disabilities. During this part of my teaching journey, I worked with teachers to implement and execute Individualized Education Plans (IEP’s) for CPSE and CSE meetings. I also helped guide families in locating the most appropriate learning environment for their child.
Realizing my passion to work with children and their families, I accepted a position as an Early Intervention Home-Based Service Provider at YAI/NYL Life Start, an NYC-based nonprofit organization. As an Early Intervention Specialist, my main goal was – and still is – building a close relationship with my families and helping parents and caregivers to reinforce the gains made. I worked intensively with speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to help children develop skills in the home setting and the outside world.
My love for teaching and strong desire to create change, even in the simplest of tasks, is how Kerri’s Kid’s Play2Learn came to life!
Kerri’s Kids Play2Learn is a therapeutic social skills playgroup for children with developmental differences in Roslyn, NY. I currently offer social skills playgroups, as well as Mommy and Me classes. Classes are offered throughout the week and on weekends, depending on availability. I continue to consult with families, provide private home/school-based therapy for children, and provide 1:1 support for students attending mainstream programs.
As the saying goes – “A great teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart!”
