New students enter into level 1. After successfully completing the level 1 skills, the child will receive a certificate of accomplishment and advance to level 2 . It usually takes a full term to accomplish this. Included in this program is a skill poster students take home and use to chart their progress. When a skill is successfully completed, the child will be awarded a star that can be taken home and placed on their chart.
