Are The Classes Meant For Each Age Group Or Combined? |
| • |
Ideally, we will separate each class according to their age group. However, in cases where the minimum class size is not achievable, we will group the 3 age groups together only as a last resort. However, rest assured that as the lessons have been planned to suit these age groups, through the activities conducted, no children will be felt left out or find the lesson either to difficult or simple to understand and enjoy from it |
