Materials : Level 1 (Year 1)

Many adults today feel a lack of sense of purpose, or “don’t know what their purpose/ or real interests are”.

It is a common problem - mildly it displays as sadness, pointlessness or a lack of purpose; anxiety, depression, or sense of being unfulfilled. The sense of frustration or being Un-met (Self-disconnected) for a prolonged/ repetitive period of time (over primary school), can lead to more overt frustration/ anger/ withdrawal.

As we aim to meet you or your child’s interests in self-connection - this means CCALFA providing as many avenues for creative progressive learning as much as possible.

Our modules all have high use of consumable materials. And the list of modalities is growing and included in your day rate

. What materials are covered in the direct debit day rate? Generally, the day rate includes the introductory Level 1 materials for all these modules (roughly two terms) - as you or our child first explore and learn about the modality. Once you/ your child progresses to Level 2/ bigger projects you will be given a list of materials to source,

Example:
