Summary of results from the thematic analysis of the focus group.

Theme	Example quote
1. Overall positive experience	“I thought like [the instructor] and the whole team were just really, really warm and friendly and welcoming and made everybody feel really comfortable.”
2. Structure of the program	“I felt that like there was maybe a little bit too much programming in that hour.”
3. Practicality of take-home activities	“I think there's too much paper and paper gets shoved places.”
4. Positive impact on SEL	“But in terms of development and the progression I think I found that they actually now can like say something about their feelings.for example, ‘Mommy, I'm going to be sad when you say something like that’ or something. Like they can understand what they are feeling right now.”
5. Positive impact on FMS/PA	“I did see incremental change every single week and by the end of it she was a little bit more gregarious, a little less cautious, a little bit more participatory.”
