Our ASA program has gotten off to a fantastic start, with enthusiastic participation from your children in a variety of engaging activities. We've witnessed remarkable progress in their skills and have seen friendships blossom within the group. It's been a pleasure to watch them grow and learn together. We would like to take this opportunity to remind all parents to please continue checking your emails regularly. We use email communication to share important updates, activity schedules, and any changes to the program. It's crucial that you stay informed to ensure the smooth running of the program and the safety and well-being of your children. Additionally, we encourage open communication between parents and our program coordinators. If your child will not be attending an activity on a specific day due to any reason, or if they are unwell, please let us know as soon as possible. This helps us plan accordingly and ensures your child's safety while in our care.

Your involvement and cooperation are key to the success of our ASA Program. We greatly appreciate your trust in us and look forward to the continued growth and development of your children over the coming months. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you and your children in any way we can.
