For the 3-5 year old program, caregivers are expected to stay and participate with their children as much as possible. Young children typically focus better when their caregivers are around and adults will also have a better idea of math activities they can do with their children at home. A room will be available for younger siblings nearby if needed. Older siblings are welcome to quietly work on schoolwork in the adjacent classroomsAll other programs are drop-off classes (caregivers are welcome to stay and observe). Caregivers are welcome to take the younger siblings to the nursery or have older siblings work on school work in the adjacent small classrooms.  


For more information about the program and content, please visit https://mathmagic.carrd.co/ Registration is free, but consistent participation weekly is expected because the teaching of each lesson is built upon knowledge learned from previous lessons. 


Why do we do this for free? As Christians, it's our sincere desire to learn about this world that God created. An in-depth understanding of math and logical reasoning skills are not only important foundations to study the laws and rules in math, physics, biology, chemistry, econ, etc. that God created for this world, but are also great skills that can be used for serving in many different ways. We would love to help children develop math skills from a young age, in a meaningful and fun way.
