1. What is the role of the parent? PARENT-CHILD class : the parent is there to encourage and support the child's learning endeavors. Some children MAY stay very close to their MOM or DAD until they feel comfortable in the class. This is normal and expected. BIGKIDS classes : even though your child is NOW on HIS OWN in the BIGKIDS classes. Parents continue to BE OUR "learning partners". Parents will BE given special TAKE-HOME learning pages SO that the learning CAN continue AT home. 2. What if I miss a class? PARENT-CHILD class : YOU CAN call your school to schedule a make-up class. This make-up class must BE done within the semester that YOU are enrolled. NO make-ups are permitted after your current program expires.
