What does a session actually look like?
It opens with a question, spends most of its time on something hands-on, and ends with the children explaining what they found to each other. Expect mess, conversation and a lot of movement rather than desks in rows.
How big are the groups?
Small enough that every child is spoken to by name and no one hides at the back. Group size changes with the cohort and the class, so ask us about the one you are considering and we will tell you exactly who is in it.
Do we have to commit to a full membership?
No. Most families start with a drop-in pass or a seasonal workshop and move to full membership when they know it fits. Trying one class first is normal here, not an exception.
Do parents have to teach?
Enrolled parents share a rotation: some teach, some assist, some handle the setting up and clearing away. Parents who take a teaching turn pay a reduced fee, and some classes are led by hired instructors instead.
How will I know what my child is learning?
There are no tests and no grades. You will hear what your child worked on, what they got stuck on and what they were still talking about at the end, so you can pick the thread up at home.
