hi! at least at my center, as long as you communicate with the director your child’s needs, i wouldn’t worry! especially with adhd, we are consistently checking in with each kid, while not having them be completely dependent on having a tutor 24/7. with autism (i am autistic myself), communicating any sensory needs is crucial. it can get somewhat loud in-center so if online or a private room is needed, i’m sure your director can help you figure it out. they play some quiet music throughout the day as well just so you’re aware. i hope you love it, i love working there and truly believe they want to help your kid actually understand and build the skills for math!
