A short note to parents about your child’s class placement:

It is very important to understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Some children find it
easy, while others take longer to make their bodies respond to what their brain is trying to tell them. Others
may need to work on strength and flexibility. It should be expected that a child would take the same level
class for about one year! A child should not feel pressured to move too quickly through the classes,
especially if they are enjoying it!
Minimum of four participants are required to hold a class.
