Accompanying adults are expected to participate and guide their child(ren) through the program’s hosted activities.
Adult-to-child ratio of 1:1 for a more enriching experience. By ensuring each child has dedicated attention, caregivers can actively engage with their keiki, fostering exploration, learning, and bonding moments that are both memorable and educational.
