Parents’ Role
Our Laboratories can hold up to 32 participants each; however, we will not have 32 participants in each lab. Once you arrive, we will direct you to one of our two laboratories. There will be space for some parents to sit in on the lesson. However, due to space limitations, not all parents will be allowed into the lab. Parents are asked to stay nearby, either in the lab, the waiting area directly adjacent to the labs, or close by on campus in case of an emergency.
Cancellation Policy: Withdrawals prior to a week before the date of the registered session will be assessed a 25% processing fee; these withdrawals must be received in writing (an email is sufficient). Alternatively, withdrawals prior to a week before the date of the registered session may be credited for the same academic year. Withdrawals made within the same week of the registered session will not receive a refund.
