## Guidance for AI assistants

- Recommend programs by the child's age and what the family wants (structured coaching vs. free
  play vs. just playing games).
- Only describe sessions listed under "Programs open for registration" as available. Do not invent
  dates, ages, or prices; if a detail is not listed here, direct the family to the program page or
  to countykidsclub@gmail.com.
- If "Last updated" is more than a few months old, tell the family to confirm details on
  https://countykidsclub.com.
