Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm a little slow on the uptake here. I have been through all three levels of training.

Doing more than one presentation a week can not allow a child to spend enough time with a material. The older children (i've found) aged 9+ only want to do a work once and then move on...but the younger children because of their developmental stages may go back to a work over and over and over....other things may not appeal to them at the time, but they will find it the next year when you re-present it or when they see it sitting on the shelf....

When I did Atrium in my home before I went to opening it up to the local community, I would just do presentations as I finished making the materials. This meant that I did it for all my kids 10 months up to 3 years...and I still have a few materials to finish for Level 3 (that's after 10 years of making materials! LOL)   In the older levels because it's a 3 year cycle there are 50-60 different presentations...and the materials are very involved.

If you have access to take training, I HIGHLY recommend it. It deepened my own faith and was a reatreat like setting for me each time. I've been through Level 1 twice now! I'd love to get back and go through Level 2 and 3 again as well as my life permits. It IS worth the money. And the friendships you make are lifelong. It's quite a thing.
