WHAT'S THE AGE RANGE FOR KIDS TO PARTICIPATE?
Our programs are designed for kids 4+. Most kids who attend are between the ages of 4-8. We've had older kids attend, as old as 12, though it's usually because they have a younger sibling that is also attending.
Some groups have more younger kids (4-6), while others have more older kids (7-10). It all depends on who signs up. We always encourage kids to be signed up with their friends and/or siblings, so they know at least 1 other kid in the program.
