Class Structure
Class structure varies with each instructor, but below we have provided two sample schedules. The parents’ discussion may include articles and handouts, watching a DVD, and open discussion. Free play may be inside or out and may also include time for art projects. Circle time for the children may include singing songs, dancing, stories, happy birthdays, and musical instruments.
