Are parents allowed to watch while their children are attending class?

Yes! If it’s a parent participation class then of course you’ll be in the gym having fun with your little one. Otherwise feel free to watch the class from the viewing area located upstairs. Or head out and enjoy the neighbourhood shops and restaurants.

Do I have to stay to watch my child?

If its not parent participation, then you aren’t required to stay. If your child is enrolled in Little Hoppers we suggest you observe for a class or two to see how they are doing without your participation.

How many students are there per instructor?

We offer the lowest ratios in the city.

Class size ratios vary depending on the class to address the specific developmental needs at each step. Pollywogs classes will have up to ten registered students. This size allows the instructor to spend individual time with each child and parent.

Little Hoppers, is especially designed to address the social development needs of children enrolled in their first “on their own” class. The ratio is 6:1.

Yellow, Orange and Red Frogs Classes still provides opportunity for extensive one on one interaction, but offers a slightly larger class size to match the child’s growing social confidence. The ratio is 7:1.

Our School Aged and Competitive Programs have ratio’s of 8:1.

Can a friend or cousin attend a class with my child?

For insurance purposes, and in order to provide the necessary attention to those children registered, only those children who are registered may participate in the class.

What should my child wear?

Stretchy and comfortable, but not overly loose clothing is best. Your child does not need a special leotard for class. All skirts and dresses as well as pants with zippers/buttons should be avoided.

Is it better to register my child for more than one session?

Of course it is better! The more often children attend classes the more benefits they will gain. We also understand that today’s families are very busy and require flexibility, which is why we offer four sessions instead of three. For more information please visit our programs page or contact us.
