FAQ :

Will this course prepare my child to be home alone?

Our course is designed to teach participants responsibility, independence, life skills, and community stewardship. Our program is not intended to advocate for leaving a child home alone. 

Our aim is to empower children with the skills and knowledge they need to become confident and self-reliant individuals. We believe that by teaching children responsibility and independence, we can help them make better decisions and prepare them for the challenges ahead.

At the same time, we recognize that every child is unique and has different needs and abilities. We encourage parents and guardians to use their best judgment and make decisions that are in the best interests of their child's safety and well-being.
