WHY WE RECOMMEND REGULAR ATTENDANCE
Young children thrive on routine, familiarity and consistency.
It often takes a few weeks for little ones to:
Feel secure in a new environment
Build trust with their teacher
Form friendships
Participate confidently and independently
Whether you choose a Mini Term or Full Term enrolment, regular attendance allows children the time they need to settle in, build confidence and truly enjoy their dance experience.
Once they feel comfortable, their development — both socially and physically — is incredible to watch.
We can't wait to welcome your family to DFPA!
