Will my child receive 1:1 instruction?
There will be one staff member for each SLC so you should expect mostly group instruction and activity. If you would like your child to have 1:1 instruction or tutoring, Flex will be able to pair your child(ren) with a provider based on age and subject matter (for an extra cost).
Will everyone wear masks?
Yes, kids and staff members will be required to wear masks except when eating. If your SLC is comfortable, we can create physical space so that kids can have “mask breaks” throughout the day.
