**Please note that siblings and parents are NOT allowed in the teaching area. There are other areas of the park you may walk around at withing viewing distance. I have found it best to not have parents or younger children around the teaching area because it tends to distract the child that is taking the class.
***Please note that you do not need to do the modules. These are just to enhance the learning experience prior to coming to the class.
****Please note that classes will be limited to 10 students. Enroll TODAY! Alternate Rain Days will be scheduled on a Tuesday. If there are not a minimum of eight students, Mrs. Valdez will cancel the class.
