_____CANCELLATION/DROP /REFUND POLICY: There is a fee of $50 drop-fee that will be assessed in order to cancel or drop out before 1st day of class.  After the 1st day, refunds are not available.    _____PRO-RATE POLICY: A portion of tuition may be offered as rebate if a family enrolls after the session has begun.   Non-refundable fees are not able to be pro-rated. Non-refundable fees include: Paypal and cc processing fees of up to 5%, the seasonal  family reg fee of $20 and the variable cost of licensing and materials (up to $70).  Pro-rates can not be granted for classes you are planning to miss later in the term.  For planned absences, we offer makeup classes that must be self scheduled online in our makeup scheduler during the session you are enrolled in. Attendance is the responsibility of the parent.  _____NON-REFUNDABLE FEES: Paypal fees (3%), processing fees (2%), materials/curriculum/licensing fees ($50) and seasonal family reg fee of $70 are all non-refundable. _____CLASSES MUST MEET 6 FAMILY MINIMUM: Due to the economics of holding a class and the educational value of group classes/social learning, if a class does not have at least 6 families enrolled and actively attending, we may need to cancel the class and offer families a 2nd or 3rd choice option. We cannot a class has less than 6 families, we may need to combine or cancel the class, the class cannot run with less than 6.   _____CLASSES HAVE 12 FAMILY MAXIMUM:  The max number of families (children and grown ups) is 12 families and 14 children. (Occasionally we go up to 15 or 16 if there are infants in arms or in the case of twins and triplets. The average class size is 9 families - 12 childlren. _____CLASS HOLIDAYS: We do not run classes on some federal and religious holidays but we also hold class on some including school holidays so that school age children/siblings can attend class with younger siblings! Please view schedules carefully on the Parent Portal to see which holidays if any are being observed during your enrollment.  _____FREE DEMOS have been discontinued and replaced with paid Drop-in class model to allow our classes to be sustainable and to keep our prices as low as possible for families interested in the value of music education. We offer financial assitance and free samples on a case by case basis but majority of public/families will need ot pay for a drop in if you wish to sample our classes.    ____ACCLIMATION Acclimation to our classes is a natural occurance that happens over the first few weeks of class. Doing a sample is just the first introduction for parents to understand our program that has been operating the same for over 35+ years, but we know early learning takes time and experiencing it is important for you to know if it's right for your family. Many children take 2 to 3 weeks to acclimate. Every child acclimates in their own way over time, talk with your Center Director if you are concerned about a failure to bond/acclimate too class.   _____MASK POLICY:  Anyone may wear a mask at any time for any reason including teachers. _____PAYMENT PLANS & LATE PAYMENT POLICY:  All payments are due before the first day of class unless otherwise arranged. Payment plans may be requested via email to [email protected]. _____ABSENCES AND MAKEUPS AGREEMENT Families agree to use the  Mark Absent tools for marking absences when they are known ahead of time and families may then schedule unlimited number of makeups during the session in which they are enrolled using our online make-up scheduler.  _____CAMERAS/PHONES POLICY: Please respect every family's right to privacy and please DO NOT bring phones into our sacred song circle. Cameras/phones must be turned OFF and put away during music class. Parents and caregivers are asked to be totally engaged in the activities for the whole 45 mins.    We know many nannies, parents, grandpareents love to snap a pic or try to get a video here and there - and we love when we are featured in your social media posts too! However, this is NOT APPROPRIATE DURING CLASS. Phones are a dopamine disrupter for adults, children and babies and it iterferes with the bond we are creating and the type of learning we are facilitating. Please save picture taking for either before or after class and please make sure to only photograph your own child - others for sure WILL NOT WANT OR ALLOW their child's photo taken or posted on social media - this is a big NO NO! Phones have become an increasing distraction/disruption to bonding efforts in our parent/child classes as technology becomes more amazing and easy to use but please - while in class - be present and in the moments. _____FOOD/SNACKS/DRINKS POLICY: Food, snacks and drinks are not allowed in any of our studios. Water bottles, baby bottles and/or nursing only - please.
