Food School (ages 3-5:11; 6-11)
We are thrilled to announce that enrollment is officially open for our upcoming Food School Program! Designed as a weekly standing session for the entire school year. Food School provides a supportive, engaging, and playful environment to help your child build a happier, healthier relationship with food.
This year, we are offering two age-based groups:
- Littles (Ages 3-5:11): Mondays from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
- Bigs (Ages 6-11): Mondays from 4:00PM – 5:00PM
Why Choose Food School? Our groups are uniquely structured to reduce the stress around eating by incorporating the evidence-based SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Approach to Feeding. Every group is facilitated by two passionate Occupational Therapists who have SOS training. Together, they guide children through multi-sensory, step-by-step food exploration in a completely pressure-free zone.
Program Details:
- Dates: September 14, 2026 – June 7, 2027
- Who is Welcome: We warmly welcome both returning and brand-new clients! (Please note: If you child has not previously had a feeding evaluation with us, we will happily schedule one prior to the start of groups.)
- Investment: Sessions are conveniently billed on a per-session basis. Families may even receive a prorated, discounted rate pending our final group participant numbers! Superbills can be provided upon request.
- Scheduled Breaks: Our program schedule aligns with the Marin County School Calendar holidays. We will not host sessions on major school holidays (such as Labor Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Recess, Winter Break, MLK Day, Mid-Winter Recess, and Spring Break), and we will proactively notify all registered families of these planned breaks well in advance.

Mindful Movers (ages 3-5): Tuesdays, 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM
We are excited to share that enrollment is officially open for our upcoming Mindful Movers group! Designed specifically for children aged 3 to 5, this specialized 12-week program blends evidence-based self-regulation and social skills approaches into a playful, supportive environment where your child can thrive.
Navigating big feelings and learning to play with peers are huge milestones for preschoolers. Mindful Movers is entirely play-based, because we know that young children learn best when they are moving, exploring, and having fun! Through guided games, collaborative play, storytelling, and sensory-motor activities, we weave in powerful therapeutic interventions.
Mindful Mover’s Overarching Goals & Themes:
- Emotional Literacy: Learning to identify, name, and understand different feelings in ourselves and others.
- Self-Regulation Tools: Discovering kid-friendly strategies like mindful breathing, sensory breaks, and co-regulation techniques to help their body and mind feel calm and organized.
