PARENTAL REMINDER:
Sending your child to a class is an individual choice that needs to be
tailored to each individual child.  If you do not feel your child is
emotionally ready to be separated from you to attend the whole class it is
important that you choose to either attend the class with your child (no
class fees are charged for parents attending classes with their child) or
choose not to have your child enrolled in that class.  There are play
activities available during the course of the day that will engage and
delight your child if they are emotionally ready for that with you there.
That having been said, Pied Piper is NOT a baby-sitting service.  We do not
potty train, change diapers, make bottles, or otherwise baby-sit.  We are
here to teach and engage children in learning activities that are fun and
interactive so that everyone may learn in a safe and creative manner.
