Catchpenny Cash- To further motivate your child’s interests, Catchpenny has created the Catchpenny Cash system. Based on responsibility, merit, team working, and leadership abilities, Catchpenny Cash rewards your child for taking those extra steps to make class a safe and clean environment. The most distinctive advantage of this system is that each and every child will earn Catchpenny Cash based upon their individual performance. In other words, we eliminate over-competition by rewarding your child based upon his/her improvement. Since we don’t believe in demerits, Catchpenny Cash fosters a win-win situation as your child makes vast improvements. At the end of the sessions, students will be able to trade the Catchpenny Cash tokens in for unique prizes. Just for the kids, Catchpenny Cash is a reward system with measurable results.
Integrated Age Group- As most school systems tend to group their students based upon age, we practice a Youth Age Integration Technique. This technique simply places students from 8 years to 13 years within the same group. We have found that age integration helps both the young and older students learn and grow tremendously. Younger students tend to be bolder and less self-conscious while on stage, yet older students tend to retain many of the abstract philosophies better than the younger students. When these age groups are combined, outrageous progress is the result. Consider this integration a mentoring experience for all ages.
