Each class runs for 25 minutes. All levels have no more than five students per class (except Parent Aid, which has a maximum of six students per class). There are typically two teachers per class for our Beginner I, Beginner II, and Advanced Beginner I levels. Our Advanced Beginner I.5, Advanced Beginner II, Intermediate and Parent Aid levels usually have one teacher.

We do offer classes through selected pre-schools. If your child is attending these schools, registration will be through their offices. Look for the posters and flyers in child's cubby by May.
