A Short note to parents about your childrsquos class placement It is very important to understand that all children acquire skills at different rates Some children find it easy while others take longer to make their bodies respond to what their brain is trying to tell them Others may need to work on strength and flexibility It should be expected that a child would take the same level class for about one year A child should not feel pressured to move too quickly through the classes especially if they are enjoying it A minimum of four participants are required to hold a class
