Answer

Repetition provides the practice that children need to master new skills. Repetition helps to improve speed, increases confidence, and strengthens the connections in the brain that help children learn. It also helps if a child is nervous about a certain skill - the class is in the same order so they'll know what to expect and when to expect it.

Remember children thrive on the repetition of patterns, sounds and experiences. Like when they learned to say mama/dada, learning to walk, etc.
