Sometimes we are able to double a class offering, providing there are enough people on the waiting list. Financial Assistance We offer one scholorship per class, which is based on need and talent. If you child requires finanical assistance, speak with the Creative Director, as this is looked at on a case-by-case basis. Absences, late arrivals and withdraws Parents and guardians are expected to drop children off on time. Please contact us if your child will be missing a class that week . If you withdraw your child before the end of a session there will be no refund. | Questions about Policies Can parents stay with their children? On occasion we will provide parents with the opportunity to see what their children are accomplishing in class, but prefer that parents drop children off a few minutes before the start of class. Students have a much higher focus level and it can be distracting to other children. What happens in a typical class? All classes are designed to fill a full 1 1/2 hours session and tailored into sections. Students have the opportunity to work together and also work individually. In every class there is a 10 minute break to regroup. Children are allowed to bring a drink and small snack with them. For younger students, we incorporate what they learned in that time frame and it makes for a wonderful bonding experience. What is expected of students? We expect younger children who apply to be potty trained and also expect them to be able to follow direction. We expect all students to act in a responsible and respectful manner at all times, and like our older students to set examples for the younger ones. We will not tolerate behavior problems. Since it has an affect on all students, any child who is creating a problem will be asked to leave. |
