Is parent participation essential in Spartans classes? How does it help?
Parents are a great and an often underestimated component in our program. In fact, parent participation is in-build in our program to help encourage the kids, especially very young ones, to build a routine and a sense of confidence in the class. Because of the very nature of the program delivery, our coaches will rely on parents from time-to-time to help with certain activities. Parents are not seen just as another coach but an important part of the activity where their involvement helps elevate the learning value to the child, while delivering a great experience for the family as a whole!
How are parents expected to help?For very young kids (below 4 years), parent participation is requested and in some cases mandatory. Parents may be required to help actively by getting equipment ready for the class, helping with the setup for activities, helping with progressions/ variations in the activities and just playing along with the kids and cheering for them!
Indirect help such as troubleshooting connection issues, helping turn the mic on/off, adjusting video, requesting coaches to re-do activities or pace it faster/slower etc. will also be expected from parents.
Will we be needing any special equipment for the activities?
No, the program is designed to use items that are commonly available at homes. Your coach will communicate to you prior to the session on what will be required. Some items may require a bit of preparation, such as crafting/colouring etc. which can in itself be a great activity to do with the kids.
