    We group kids by the school grade that they are entering in Fall 2025. This helps kids make new friends with their peers and ensures an age-appropriate safe and learning environment.

    In addition, our kids move around in their rotations with all groups in the same age category so most likely your child will see their same age group friends for a large portion of the time.

    Requests must be made on the registration form.
