Q & A:
-
Can I ask the OT questions?
-
Yes! Our OT can offer general strategies and developmental guidance
-
-
Do I need to register?
-
Yes. We want to ensure we keep this a safe space without overwhelm, keeping our group very small and welcoming.
-
If there was a need for cancellation, our team would use this registration as a way to get in touch with you.
-
We love to build our sessions around the children in the group, so knowing as much about them ahead of time allows our team to create the most meaningful opportunities for play and growth.
-
We are currently operating this program as a trial based on a community request, and while we do our best to keep programs affordable, knowing how many attendees will be there ahead of time allows us to plan our staffing and ongoing program offerings accordingly.

-
How much does it cost?
-
Our focus right now is meeting a community-voiced need. We are starting with the price of $25 per session during our trial period to gauge interest and to learn about how often this group should be offered.

This pricing may be adjusted depending on the needs and frequency required. We do our best to keep programs affordable and would love to have your feedback on this
-
We are able to offer a discount to those who book several sessions ahead of time (example: a month of sessions, booking across several months, etc.). If you would like to know more about this, please reach out to us at: info@otfullcircle.com
