As school owners, we MUST take child safety seriously…

You do not want to say: “That could never happen at OUR studio.”

In this episode, we brought back Greg Genter (owner of Piano Express) to talk about child safety.

He shares the policies they have in place at the Piano Express’ locations in northern Virginia.

This is a very practical episode and includes specific stories and examples to go along with the training.
