- The registered adult must accompany their child at Joyful Parenting or Developmental Movement class meetings (online and in- person courses). Children are not permitted to attend alone and cannot attend any other in-person NOCE courses.
- Up to two children can be registered per adult.
- The same individual adult is expected to attend each class meeting; the student in each course is the registered adult.
