Common Q&A's

Why is the registration on a recreation centre website?

All our programs are vetted and delivered in collaboration with local recreation centres. When registering for our courses, you will be taken to the recreation centre’s website to complete the registration.

Who teaches the courses, and what are their credentials?

At Young Innovators, we take instructor quality seriously.

Every instructor is certified in First Aid and has passed a criminal background check.

They also bring real-world experience in STEM fields and previous experience working with kids.

What is the instructor-to-child ratio?

At Young Innovators, we run intentionally small class sizes with an instructor-to-child ratio of 1:8, so every child gets real attention and the support they need.

Does my kid need any previous experience?

No previous experience is necessary.

I still have a question. How can I contact you?
