The Clubhouse Social Skills Center For Children

Anna is absolutely amazing! Our son has been coming here for a couple of months now, and has been working on his interpersonal and social skills through the PEERS program, as well as continuing that training in the less formal LEGO club.
Each program is designed to aid children who need assistance in developing and growing their social skills, and our son has been making leaps and bounds since starting here! Our son has Asperger’s syndrome, and Anna has been wonderful in working with him. We did all of our homework, and her credentials all check out (which is something that we always do before working with a service provider.)
Both of our boys come for LEGO club, and both of them look forward to it each week, even though we get up fairly early each Saturday to get there. LEGO club proved to be an excellent starting point for the boys, and allowed them to really grow comfortable in the setting before we got the PEERS program set up for our eldest.
Now, to the details: the facility is absolutely beautiful. Build inside a dual use location in Carlsbad, the downstairs is set up for the program. Tastefully decorated, it is fun, light, and airy, with plenty of slightly subdued colors that look delightful without being overwhelming. There are plenty of toys, and the collection of LEGO’s is constantly expanding. There is a good mix of special needs and typical children, which allows for real interactions that are all supervised and directed by Anna and her staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accepting. We truly could not be happier!
Would I recommend her to family and friends? Absolutely, and have already gone out of my way to do so. If you have a child that is struggling with social interactions, if you have a child who needs a boost, if you have a child who just doesn’t quite get it, this is the place to go. We have already seen honest-​to-​goodness measurable improvements (which as an aside is something that is also done through the PEERS program.)
In summary, this program is excellent and Anna makes it all seem so easy. And, if I’m honest, I’ve probably picked up a pointer or two for applying in my own life as well.

The clubhouse is simply amazing and Ana is even more so. I cannot recommend this location enough for children that need some additional social skills to help them navigate through their days.
