Hi Bloomingdale residents, 
Ms. Merritt Micro-schooling will be hosting the next Open House this Saturday, February 8th.
Every attendee will receive one FREE hour of relational childcare at the time of their choice during the month of February.

There are two times and ways to join, either virtually or face-to-face:
  1. Virtually: 10:30 am-12:30 pm via Zoom Web conferencing
  2. In-Person: 3:30 pm-5:00 pm at Shaw Neighborhood Library, WTD Meeting Room
During this Open House, you will have a chance to voice your questions and hear us answer frequently asked questions:
· What exactly is micro-schooling about?
· What makes you qualified to make this offering?
· How would this work in Bloomingdale?
· Isn't this just another program like Montessori?
· What time of day will it take place?
· Is this a program for playdates, field trips, or online learning?
· Do I have to pull my kids out of school to join this program?
· How can my kids learn a foreign language through this program?
· Can you meet me and some parents from my neighborhood in-person to see if this will work for us?

The three most frequently asked questions are:
How much does your program cost?
What if I cannot afford the costs listed on your website?
But why should Micro-schooling matter to us?
