Masks will not be required for any students during class. It is up to the parents of the children whether or not you would like your child to wear a mask during class or not. We respect both decisions and only ask parents to keep their child at home if they start showing any COVID-19 symptoms.

We are completely tech-free! If your child has a phone, we ask that it stays inside their backpacks during class time. We understand that parents might want to call/text after class ends to let them know they're running late, etc.

Programs will continue as scheduled unless an unsafe weather situation arises. Snow and rain are expected during the year and will not cancel a class day. If we notice a potentially dangerous weather forecast and decide to cancel programs, we will always send emails to families before the day of class.

If you need to withdraw your child from our program, please let us know at least two weeks prior to your child’s departure. This gives us enough time to fill your child’s space for the following month. If you paid the full year’s tuition up front, you will be refunded for the months following your child’s departure. If you do not provide at least two weeks notice, your tuition will not be refunded for that month.
