Important Registration Information
When registering, please make sure to book your child for the session that matches the school in which they attend. Each school has its own designated workshop dates and times based on school dismissal, so selecting the correct session ensures your child is placed in the appropriate group. If you plan on picking up your child at school or home school and will be transporting your child, this will not be a concern.
