Our Philosophy
Friendship is not about fitting in.
It is about learning the skills to connect while honouring who you are.
We celebrate neurodiversity, individual strengths, and authentic communication. Our goal is never to change a child—it is to equip them with practical tools that allow others to better understand and appreciate them. This reflects the neuro-affirming principles at the heart of the PEERS® program.
Most social programs focus only on the child. RedBoots integrates the parent.
Most social programs focus only on the child.
RedBoots integrates the parent.
Children learn:
- How to initiate and maintain friendships
- How to read social cues
- How to handle teasing or disagreement
- How to regulate impulses in peer settings
Is PEERS® Right for Your Child?
PEERS® may be appropriate for children who:
- want to make friends but aren't sure how
- struggle to join play with peers
- find social situations confusing
- experience challenges with conversation or cooperative play
- are autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent
- would benefit from structured friendship coaching in a supportive environment

Begin the Journey
Strong friendships build confidence, resilience, and belonging. At RedBoots Learning™, we're here to help children—and the families who support them—develop the skills that create meaningful social connections for years to come.
We model calm,
not control.
Children learn best through example. We lead with steadiness, not stress—because true confidence grows in safety.
We teach through stories, structure, and play.
Every moment is a chance to grow—with rhythm, purpose, imagination, and a love for learning that lasts.
We invite parents to be a part of the process.
Readiness happens at home too. We walk with families, not just children—because growth is a shared journey.

Founder & Education Director —
"I started RedBoots because I wanted something different—not just for my own daughter, but for every family who feels a bit lost in the noise. Our programs are intentional, kind, and grounded in real tools that work. We prepare children for school, yes—but more importantly, we prepare them for life.”
– Paula Howell, Founder
