Before reading below, please see the changes we’ve made due to the pandemic.
Do schools send their teachers on to supervise?
Schools are encouraged to send their teacher on the bus with the children. Tumblebus Allstars' approach is, "the more the merrier." We always welcome teachers, directors, etc. to join us on the Tumblebus so that they can see what their students are experiencing.
WHAT KIND OF FOOTWEAR SHOULD the CHILDren HAVE?
Preferably, participants will wear well fitting sneakers, however, any comfortable shoes that do not slip off accidentally are fine.
However, we do allow children to remove their shoes and put them in cubbies if they wish (this has the added bonus of giving child some practice in removing and putting their shoes back on). Therefore, it is also required that the children are wearing a pair of socks when they enter the bus. If it is Tumblebus day and a student does not have socks, he or she will unfortunately not be able to participate.
How many children can participate at one time?
The normal number of participants is 10 - 15 at any one time, with 12 being the ideal number. I have had 15 children on the bus at once with no problems before, however, those are generally groups of 15 very well behaved children. As teachers/directors/parents know, the slightest behavioral issue can throw a monkey wrench in how smoothly the class is run. Therefore, because the teachers/directors know the children better than I do, I usually leave it up to the school to decide where we fall within that 10 - 15 child range, but I may eventually suggest groupings to maximize the fun.
do you do single/sporadic visits?
The short answer is yes.
The long answer: During the school year, the majority of my visits are to a group of schools that I visit weekly. Therefore, it's more difficult to fit in single-visit schools. However, I am always happy to try and work with any school to fit you in. Additionally, the pricing is a little bit different; more in line with birthday party pricing (not all policies apply).
