    A note about your childs class placement: Please understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Age is often aconvenient marker used to understand and measure motor skill development, however an increase in age does not automaticallyresult in improvement or acquisition of a skill. Differences in body size, knowledge, skills, learning styles, personalities, andexperiences all affect individual skill development. It should be expecteda child will repeat any given level several times

    before fully mastering all skills required at that level.
