Registration
Deadlines:
Although you may join our classes at any time, please register early
since class sizes are limited and many fill quickly. Registering
at least 3 weeks before the semester begins also ensures
that we have your child's materials for you at your first class.
Late Fees/Delinquent Payments:
There is a $10 fee for late payments, $25 fee for returned checks.
Discounts:
Sibling discounts:
If you register 2 or more children in the same class (at the same
time) save $30.00
Early Bird discounts:
If you register a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the beginning of the
semester, save $10.00 off the registration fee
Choosing a Class:
The age recommendations outlined for Kindermusik classes have been
carefully constructed to best group children in an age appropriate
and developmentally appropriate way. Therefore, it is important
that your child be at least the minimum age by the start of the
semester for the class in which you are enrolling. If you have concerns
about your child's success in a particular age range, we are happy
to discuss your child's needs and work with you to place him in
the class best suited for him.
Kindermusik Village and Our Time is designed as
one (1) parent per student experience. For parent with two or more
children in same program, please make arrangements for another caregiver
to attend all classes.
Non-enrolled Siblings:
Due to limited class sizes and the delicacy of the younger class
settings, Village and Our Time classes can only accommodate non-enrolled
siblings when the sibling is young enough to stay contended in a
car carrier or stroller. However, emergencies are considered, so
please call if we can help.
Enrollment Confirmation:
A registration form and payment must be received before enrollment
can be confirmed. You will receive a phone call, E-mail or fax notice
within two weeks to confirm your registration
Refunds:
Tuition refunds or credit vouchers may be given if there are extenuating
circumstances requiring withdrawl from class. All refund requests
will be considered on an individual basis. The cost of materials
and a $20 processing fee are non-refundable.
Free Visits and Demo Classes:
At certain times throughout each session, we are happy to schedule
a free visit in one of our classes. Please call us for availability.
We are also pleased to schedule FREE demo classes for preschools
and playgroups.
When to Arrive:
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 boos, or listening to music.
What to Bring:
We do request that toys, juice cups, pacifiers be kept out of sight
and that snacks be finished prior to class. Be sure to dress comfortably.
Make Up
Classes:
Class 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.
In case of inclement weather, we will follow
the local School District decision on closings unless we call you
otherwise. If there is a snow delay, we will still have class at
the regular time.
We are happy to allow students who miss a class
to make up that class. Simply call in advance to schedule
make-ups.
Participation/Expectations for
the Class:
During class, the most important thing you can do for your child
is to be an active and patient role model. It is not uncommon for
a child to attend several classes before feeling comfortable in
class. Do not be discouraged - what a child 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
is key to facilitating musical learning and growth.
You and your child will enormously benefit from
the Kindermusik experience, especially if you make active use of
your At Home materials. Reinforcement and enjoyment of the
Kindermusik materials at home during the week make all the difference
in a child's comfort and security in the classroom.
We love parents to visit before class during
Gathering Time or after class, but not during class time, please.
When you are an active, focused, enthusiastic participant in the
class activities, your child will model your actions and focus more
fully too.
Many parents tell us that they see a completely
different child at home as they share Kindermusik activities there.
It is ok if your child is hesitant in the group environment. If
your child cannot focus on the present activity - do not worry,
but do actively attempt to help them refocus or quietly engage them
in participating in their own way.
