Parents/Guardians are welcome to participate in the outside bubble party for the last 5 minutes of each class.
In most instances the instructor is able to diffuse meltdowns, but we also understand that everyone has bad days now and then.
If your child is having one of those days, you’ll be notified so we can work together and decide how best to help them through it.
