Our Refund/Credit Policy

All registrations for classes, events, camps, workshops, etc are nonrefundable and non-transferable.

However, if we have to cancel or move an event due to attendance or schedule conflicts, we will offer a full complementary refund if requested.

Birthday party deposits are nonrefundable and non-transferable. If a party is canceled within 10 days of the party, the entire party cost is nonrefundable. In the event an unforeseen circumstance has occurred, please contact us directly and we will work with you to reschedule.

Our Makeup Policy

Starting with our summer session we will have one week of make up classes for children to make up any classes missed during the session. Children will be allowed to take any class during make up week. Make ups can only be done that week which will be the last week of the semester.

Drop in classes do not qualify for make up classes.

*Ballet cannot be used for make ups as classes are full.

WHY IS THIS OUR MAKE UP POLICY?

Due to the significant investment in time, energy and resources into preparing supplies for each art class, providing make up sessions for missed art classes becomes financially unsustainable for our small business.
Attending all classes within a session helps ensure the best experience for all participants although we understand that it is not always possible to attend every class due to unforeseen circumstances. For this reason we allow make ups in our movements classes so that your child still has the ability to interact with other children and help develop socialization and motor skills.

To ensure the safety of all children in the class & camps, we expect each child to follow the rules set by the teacher/counselor. These rules may include sitting in our seat, being patient and sharing supplies for example.

3. Be Kind
We encourage every child to be kind to their peers. Sharing materials and helping others is all part of being a good peer.

4. Be Punctual
Arriving on time helps the class run smoothly and aids in avoiding disruptions.

5. Listen Carefully
During story time, craft activities, songs or educational activities, we encourage the children to listen carefully to their teacher so they can learn effectively.

6. Resolve Conflicts Peacefully
At times, conflict can occur amongst children, we do our best to encourage children to communicate and solve problems as it is vital for their social growth.

7. Use Safe Language and Actions

Children/Parents who are unable to follow our code of conduct may be asked to leave our facility. Refunds will not be issued for anyone asked to leave due to disrespect and unsafe language or actions toward staff or other customers.

  • failure or refusal to abide by class/camp policies or regulatory requirements; 

  • failure or refusal to accept and cooperate in class/camp decisions or practices;

  • All participants are expected to treat each other and the instructors with respect at all times. We do not tolerate bullying, name-calling, teasing, physical abuse, or verbal abuse toward staff, children, or other parents, including racial slurs, hate speech, cursing or swearing; or any form of harassment.  

  • inappropriate, discourteous, or disrespectful interactions toward or communications with others, including on social media; 

  • failure to pay registration; or

  • demand for special treatment or services that are not provided to others, cannot reasonably be delivered by the program, or are outside the philosophy of the program.
