Peace-Of-Mind Promise: What if my child needs to pull out?
Your child can:
Stop doing their course if they need to.
Switch to a different course if you need to.
Do ‘catch-up’ sessions for missed sessions.
You won't be billed for an entire course if your child needs to pull out.
Almost every time, our kids/teens find their groove and enjoy their sessions.
If your child needs tweaks, we can switch your child to a different mini-group, modify session times, or even pair them with a different leader.
We understand that sometimes life seriously happens… A death in the family, sudden health issues, parents going through a hard time etc etc.
But rest assured, if it doesn't work out (and it will), you're only billed for the part of the course that your family participated in.
Advantages
After School/Work Sessions
Don't miss out on school.
We've set things up so that your child doesn't have to miss out on school and you don't have to deal with midday appointments. Instead, all sessions are at after-school times in the afternoons or evenings because your child needs routine. We can help that just by scheduling sessions conveniently for you.
No Waiting Lists!
You hate waiting lists and so do we!
Your child needs to learn asap. We have many, many groups and we would rather add more groups than have a waiting list. Every week your child is not learning new skills is a wasted week. We'll do everything we can so your child can start in our next course.

Social Sessions
Your child will also have the opportunity to participate in two (2) social sessions.
As a part of their learning experience, your child will be able to select two sessions from the following options:
- Minecraft
- Social Games
- Art
- Brick Builders Club (Lego)
- Social Drama Club
This is an excellent opportunity for your child to apply their newly acquired skills in a fresh environment without any preexisting expectations.
It's going to be so much fun! 😊
