There will be one Bala Vihar trial session on April 5, 2025 for new families who wish to sign up for the academic year 2025-2026. Attending a Bala Vihar trial session provides new families with the opportunity to experience general assembly, parent satsang and children’s classes, as well as meet members of the community.
- Prior registration is mandatory for attending trial class.
- Registration is first come first serve.
- All classes except for Shishu Vihar are drop off. During class, parents will attend a parent orientation.
- Shishu Vihar is a parent-child class, so one parent must accompany children in the Shishu Vihar class. The other parent should plan to attend the parent orientation.
