Questions parents ask

Does my child need any experience?

No. First-timers start with hands-on builds and step-by-step guides, and the teacher sets the pace for each child.

My child isn't at a TDSB school. Can they come?

Yes, any child can join on these dates.

Can I book more than one PA Day?

Yes. Choose every date you want on the form.

Can you take my child earlier or later?

Before and after care is only possible when we arrange it ahead of time. Call us before you book.

Will I get a receipt?

Yes, by email after you pay, with your child's name on it.
