Keep in mind, our levels are  double levels. So, it's ok if you child needs to do the same level multiple sessions. Remember, each child works at a different pace. Some skills come easily, and some take more time! When your child is ready to move up, she will receive a move-up certificate. Otherwise, please register for the same level.
