breathe. connect. be.

The Connection Corner is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, non-competitive space to learn, play, create, explore, and connect in the heart of Downtown Southern Pines.

We offer a variety of weekly classes and small groups, workshops, special events, and individualized services for children of all ages, stages, and abilities. All of our programs are designed to develop and encourage mind-body connection, foster creativity, and enhance social-emotional, physical, and mental well-being. As educators, therapists, and mothers, we believe deeply in the power of mindfulness, movement, free play, process art, good books, music, and connection to nature and each other.

We can’t wait to share this space with you!

Some of the programs we offer include:

youth yoga & mindfulness

process art, sensory play, and art workshops

social skills groups

speech & occupational therapy groups

youth life coaching workshops

camps, special events, parties

…and more!
