Children’s classes are developed with their ages and stages of development in mind, therefore, classes are both age and ability specific. Once enrolled, if your child is unduly challenged or under-challenged causing them not to flourish in their specific age group, the JAC Coordinator and the parent/guardian will review the situation to identify a suitable solution. If your child has special needs (physical, emotional and/or Medic*tion) that must be accommodated while attending a JAC class, you are required to discuss them with the JAC Education Coordinator, Director, or JAC designee prior to paying the class fees.
