Questions

Parents ask

Can a parent stay in the room during a toddler class?

No. DW Calhoun has no viewing window, and children of every age go into class with their instructor without a parent (Rules and Policies, rule 1).

Does my toddler need to be potty trained?

No, but if your child is not potty trained, stay close by in case they need changing, because staff cannot change children (rule 3).

Do toddler classes perform in the recital?

Yes. The studio's rules say every class performs in the end of year recital (rule 9).
