Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this a drop-in program?
No; space is limited so please sign up. The four meetings are meant to be experienced as one program. Each meeting we will build upon the ideas of the previous time.

Is this program a good fit for my child?
Here are some developmental milestones for children this age. Does your child:
•understand the concepts of “same” and “different”?

•correctly name some colors and shapes?
•understand the concept of counting? 
•follow directions with three parts?
•engage in increasingly inventive fantasy play?
•cooperate with other children?
•sit quietly at times for at least 5 minutes?

Can I drop my child off at the program?
The program is designed to enrich interaction between parent/caregiver and child. Plan to be there and enjoy this program together with your child!

Can I bring siblings that are too young to register?
Yes, but please discuss it with us beforehand. Please aware that the participating child will need your assistance for the activities.
