Step into School skills social group

Our School Readiness Fine Motor Group helps young learners build the hand strength, coordination, and confidence they need for a successful start to school. Through playful, hands-on activities—like cutting, drawing, building, squeezing, and crafting—children practice important skills for writing, using classroom tools, and participating in daily school routines.

Children will work on skills such as:

    •    Pencil grasp and early writing skills

    •    Proper scissor use and cutting accuracy

    •    Hand strength and finger dexterity

    •    Hand–eye coordination

    •    Bilateral coordination (using both hands together)

    •    Visual-motor and pre-writing skills

    •    Independence with classroom tasks

    •    Attention, persistence, and confidence

This small-group setting provides individualized support from a pediatric occupational therapist in a warm, encouraging environment. Children leave feeling capable, motivated, and ready for school success!
