Admissions
This program is offered to Simplicity Learning Center families who have already
completed at least one Parent-Tot Playgroup (ten weeks) or one Simplicity Parenting
Group (seven weeks). Our knowledge of the family and the child through this introduction
will allow us to make an informed placement decision. It will also ensure that the
parents are familiar with and confident in our program and staff.
