There is a lot of moment during a parent assisted class, which can sometimes be unpredictable. It's important both your children are safe during class time.
As such, an infant who is placed on the floor while you assist your older child, can create a dangerous situation.
If you have a younger child who needs to be with you during class, we ask you either baby wear them or have them in a pram or carrier.
If this is not possible for your circumstance, please talk to our staff, to see if there may be another way to make the situation safe for you.
