Participation- Enthusiastically participating in programming in line with abilities. Parents and caregivers will do their best to be present and follow directions from the instructor.

FAQs

Can I drop my child off, or do I stay with them?

A parent or caregiver must accompany the child during classes.

Can we just drop in for a class?

What kind of behavior is expected in Baby & Me classes?

Children are expected to behave age appropriately, which includes crying, moving, playing, and eating snacks.
