Children usually start at age 4, but age alone does not determine whether they are ready for class. Children under 4 may be able to start if they can follow simple instructions and take part in group activities. Others within the recommended age range may need a little more time to get ready. Before enrolling in Little Tigers, every child must attend a free trial class so we can assess their readiness and find the right time for them to start.
