What can I expect as a parent?
We use different language in the atrium, when asking your children about their experience, remember:
Atrium, not classroom
Catechist, not teacher
Presentations, not lessons
Not play with toys, work with materials
Questions to ask your child about their experience:
What brought you joy in the atrium today?
What work did you choose today?
Did you see a new presentation today?
What will your child experience in the Atrium this month?
Stay up to date on what presentations your child is receiving and see pictures of their time in the Atrium!
