Cancellation & Attendance Policy
To keep classes consistent and fair for all families, we maintain a strict attendance policy:
No Make-Up Sessions: Missed classes cannot be rescheduled, transferred, or credited. Each class spot is reserved in advance and held exclusively for your child.
No Refunds for Absences: Tuition covers your reserved space in the program, not individual attendance. Refunds or credits will not be issued for missed classes, regardless of reason.
Advance Notice (Optional but Appreciated): If you know your child will be absent, we appreciate a quick notification so we can plan materials and class flow accordingly.
Instructor Cancellations: If a class is canceled by us (e.g., weather, instructor illness), a make-up session or credit will be provided.
By enrolling, families agree to this policy. We appreciate your understanding—consistent attendance helps create the best experience for all children in the class.
