Congratulations to our Princeton Nursery School friends on Graduation 2025!

Center at 353 Director of Clinical Programs, Kattya Coral-Bianculli, LCSW, provides onsite clinical services at Princeton Nursery School weekly to enhance social and emotional development. Since 1997, Center at 353 has raised funds annually to support and continue this collaboration with PNS. Thank you to PACF Fund for Women and Girls for funding 2024 and '25 as part of our Childhood Intervention Initiative Program (CII).

Kat introduced "Tiger Circles" with student groups instilling the four elements of Theraplay®: structure, engagement, challenge, and nurture. To celebrate gradation, the Center at 353 Team made each student these Tiger Circle bags and buckets full of "Sun Fun".

To learn more about Theraplay®, read the following article, Play therapy makes sense – and works – for children. https://www.centerat353.org/news-articles/interview-with-kattya-coral-bianculli-lcsw
