[Michlib-l] [Miyouth] Ages for Programs

[Sara Grochowski]

We have many homeschool families who don't do grade level, so I try not to
use that system too often. We do the following, which has some overlap so
kids/parents can decide if the younger or older program is best for that
particular kiddo.

Baby - Ages 0-3
Toddler - Ages 2-5
Early El - Ages 6-9
Upper El - Ages 9-12
Teen -  Ages 12-18
