Two programmes, by age
Each is a monthly kit of four short activities a week and two live sessions with a teacher. Choose by your child's age.
Little

How the kit reaches you
- 1
We pack every box in Florence and post it by USPS on the 24th, so it lands before the month starts.
- 2
It is a flat box, 12 by 9 by 3 inches, that fits most mailboxes. Nobody needs to sign for it.
- 3
Inside are four sealed envelopes, one per week, so next week's supplies stay a surprise.
