Our program runs on a fixed timetable to accommodate the needs of all participants and the availability of our speech pathology students and supervisors. Tardiness Policy: 1. Arrival Time: - It is important to arrive on time for each session. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to allow for any unexpected delays and to ensure your child is ready to begin on time. 2. Late Arrival: - If you arrive late, the session will still end at the scheduled time. Late arrivals disrupt the flow of the session and can affect the experience of other participants. Please make every effort to be punctual. 3. Repeated Tardiness: - Repeated tardiness may impact your child’s progress and could lead to a review of your participation in the program. Consistency is key for the effectiveness of our sessions, and punctuality helps ensure that all children benefit equally.
