We recommend that you register at least ten days in advance to secure a spot for your child in the lab of your choice. This will ensure your child’s participation in our engaging and educational program.
We will do our best to accommodate as many children as possible, but we must respect the teacher’s limits for practical reasons.
Due to the high demand for our program, we can only accommodate a limited number of children. So, we would like to encourage you to register soon to avoid disappointment.
