Since the sessions and workshops are conducted at a home, parents are invited to stay and watch the classes or socialize with other parents in our sunroom, dining room where parent support and info groups may be held, TV room or outside deck or gazebo. If you would prefer, you can simply drop your child off and pick up when session is over. Childrens' classes and practice sessions are held indoors, with fun sensory equipment brought in at end of class for reward time/
