My children move free around the place, discovering what to do with their bodys and following some instructions
Improvements:
My children waited almost half an hour outside the playground or gym. The teacher never asked them to get in. We announced them 20 minutes in advace to make sure that they will enjoy the full time. In total, they waited about 50 minutes and partcipate in the class for less than 30 min.
