We like to have the support of parents at our events, but do not welcome parents in the classroom unless they have signed up to volunteer to preserve a learning environment free from additional distractions. For most workshops, parents and guardians are invited to stay through the opening welcome at the start of the day and asked to return for presentations at the end of the day.

Some of our hosted events are designed for full family participation, welcoming parents, guardians, siblings, and other loved ones. Check out our upcoming programs to learn of any events for the whole family coming to your city.
