Overwhelming response!

Hello all,

Well, registration opened for KTU at 11 am on Dec. 1. and by noon we had 65 enrolled children. This is really exciting!! We have had such an overwhelming response for the program that we had to close the program early; with a waiting list for interested parents. 

Thank you!
