You might want to see if Sue Abrams serves kids that early. She does Michelle Garcia-Winner's Social Thinking social skills groups. MGW is awesome--it's about teaching your child theory of mind--awareness not only of other people's feelings but also of their thoughts, plans, intentions (as best as one can guess by reading nonverbal cues like gestures and facial expressions). Teaches perspective taking. Start talking about perspective and the other above mentioned things at home now. Also how one's actions affect other people thoughts and actions.

Alvord Baker I think does social skills groups too.

My kid went to Summer Buddies last summer and really learned a lot and had tons of fun. It was for ages 2 - 8.
It is in Silver Spring
