General Policies

Deposit:

The cost of materials is due at time of enrollment. This is your deposit that will hold your spot in class. This is so that I can be sure to have those ordered and ready for you at the time class starts.

Payment Option:
1) Payment in full at time of registration and receive 10% off total tuition!  

2) Payment installments:  $35 a month due the first class of each month.                  

Registration Deadlines:
Although you many join our class at any time, please register early since class sizes are limited and many fill quickly.  Registering at least three weeks before the semester begins also ensures that I will have your child's materials for you at your first class.  If you enroll after the semster begins, tuition can be pro-rated accordingly.
Early Bird Discount:
Register at least two weeks before the semester begins and receive $20 off total tuition!
Multiple Sibling Discount:

Family Time classes: 1st child regular price, each child thereafter is free!                                 All other classes: 1st child regular price, each child thereafter is half price.                             

Sunshine Discount:
Register early and get the Early Bird Discount. THEN pay in full when registering and receive another 10% off!  That's 1 Month FREE!!

Enrollment Confirmation:

 A registration form and payment must be received before confirmation.  You will be contacted within 1 week after receiving payment and registration either by phone or emaill.                      
Refunds:
Tuition refunds or credit vouchers may be given based on individual circumstances.  Unfortunatly, the cost of At Home Materials is non-refundable.  These are for you to keep and enjoy!
Make-up Classes:
Classes will be made up in the event of teacher illness or inclement weather.  I will notify you of the cancellation and the scheduled make-up day.

Non-enrolled Siblings:

Due to class size and the delicacy of the younger class setting, non-enrolled siblings CANNOT attend the classtime. (This does not apply for Family Time classes)                              Emergency circumstances are always understood.
Making the Most of your Kindermusik Class
   Plan to arrive about 5-10 minutes early for class.  Arriving a little before class provides time for your child to settle in to the musical environment as they prepare to enjoy exploring instruments, reading books, or listening to music.  I do request that toys, juice cups, and pacifiers be kept out of sight, and that snacks be finished prior to class.  Be sure to dress comfortably!
   During class, the most important thing you can do for your child is to be an acive and patient role model.  It is not uncommon for a child to attend several classes before feeling comfortable in class.  Don't be discouraged - what a chld is absorbing in class is often evidenced in the comfort of the home environment rather than in a certain level of participation in class.  The understanding and consistency of the parent or caregiver in class and at home are key to facilitating musical learning and growth.
   By the way, I love for parents to visit before or after class!  It helps to foster a bonding between us, the adult; and allows for the children to get to know one another better.  BUT may we please keep the visiting for only those times.  When you are an active, focused, enthusiastic participant in the class activities, your child will model your actions and focus more fully as well!
   You and your child will enormously benefit from the Kindermusik experience, especially if you make active use of your At Home Materials.  Frequent reinforcement at home throughout the week makes all the difference in a child's comfort and participation in the classroom.

Refund Policy

Our studio offers the following refund policies. Only one policy will apply to the class your child is registered for. The class description and the registration process will identify the exact refund policy for the class you have chosen.

Refund Policy
Tuition refunds may be given based on individual circumstances up through the first 2 weeks of the semester.  Unfortunatly, refunds on materials can not be given.  Those will be yours to keep and enjoy!
