Homeschool Day FAQ’s

If my child is 5 y/o can they go in the 6-7 age group?

Please re-read the question out loud. šŸ˜‰

Unfortunately, they’ll have to wait for next year! We have age limits set for safety reasons and educational purposes. However, if you are registering other children, you may bring the 5 and under children with you. We have an awesome playground and they’ll love watching their siblings, whetting their appetite for next year!
