After School Social Skills Program

Project Enterprise presents the Harbor School Social Skills Aftercare Program.

Social skills are the foundation for building positive relationships, navigating social situations, and fostering success in every stage of life. At Harbor School, we believe these skills are essential for children and adolescents to thrive, both inside and outside the classroom.

That’s why we offer the Harbor School Social Skills Aftercare Program, presented by Project Enterprise, a dynamic, group-based program held Monday through Thursday from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Designed for children of all ages, this program helps students strengthen communication, enhance social interactions, and develop effective problem-solving strategies—all in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment.

Led by Harbor School’s certified and support staff, students participate in a variety of recreational activities, cooperative team-building exercises, and interactive lessons that naturally reinforce essential social skills. Each session blends structured learning with enjoyable, hands-on experiences, encouraging students to practice and apply their skills in real time.

Program Highlights Include:

  • Initiating & Sustaining Friendships – Building trust and connection with peers
  • Play Etiquette – Learning the value of fairness and respect
  • Conversational Skills – Starting, maintaining, and ending conversations successfully
  • Nonverbal Communication – Understanding body language and facial expressions
  • Social Emotional Learning – Recognizing and managing emotions
  • Problem Solving & Coping Strategies – Handling challenges with confidence
  • Peer Relationship Building – Fostering kindness, empathy, and mutual respect
  • Self-Advocacy – Speaking up appropriately for one’s needs

At Harbor School in Eatontown, New Jersey, we know that when social skills grow, confidence, friendships, and opportunities grow, too.
