You can register multiple children in the same age group for a workshop, allowing them to attend together. For instance, if you have children aged 3 and 4, they can both be registered for the same age category workshop to attend at the same time. If your children belong to different age groups, please ensure you register them according to their respective age categories. You would then attend seperate workshops with them.
Please note that due to space capacity constraints, only one parent or guardian can accompany the children at a time.
We are delighted by the continued enthusiasm for our free workshops! We have updated our registration policy for our FREE Parent and Tot Workshops. Effective immediately, each tot is only eligible to register for two Parent and Tot Workshops per year. This small adjustment helps ensure more members of our community have the opportunity to participate in classes throughout the season.
If you need to withdraw from the workshop, we kindly request that you notify us in advance. This courtesy allows us to inform waitlisted participants that a spot has become available, ensuring they have ample time to make necessary arrangements.
