Choosing a Class
The age recommendations outlined for Kindermusik classes have been carefully constructed to best group children in an age 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, I am happy to discuss your child’s needs and to work with you to place him in the class best suited for him.

Register Early
Although you may join our classes 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 semester begins, tuition can be pro-rated accordingly.

Enrollment Confirmation
A registration form and payment must be received before enrollment can be confirmed. You will receive a mailed notice within two weeks to confirm your registration.

Making the Most of Kindermusik Classes

• Please 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. Please also show consideration for other class members by being ready for class at the designated time so we can begin class on time.
• Please keep all toys, juice cups, and pacifiers out of sight and ensure snacks are 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 active 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 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 are key to facilitating musical learning and growth. 
• I love for parents to visit before 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. 
• 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.

Refunds

Tuition refunds or credit vouchers may be given if there are extenuating circumstances requiring withdrawal from class. All refund requests will be considered on an individual basis. The cost of materials and a $10 processing fee are non-refundable.

At Home Materials

All At Home Materials will be disturbed to you upon the full payment of Tuition and Materials fee.

Sick Child Policy

Please let your child rest at home when you note any other following within 24 hours of class: unusual fatigue or irritability; persistent productive cough; thick nasal discharge; conjunctivitis; fever (child should be fever-free without medication for 24 hours before class); vomiting or diarrhea (anytime within the previous 24 hours before class); inflamed throat; or suspicious rash. In addition, a child being treated with antibiotics should be on the drug for at least 24 hours before class. 

Make-up Classes
Classes will be made up in the event of teacher illness or inclement weather. I will notify you of the cancellation (please be sure to check your answering service &/or email in the event of inclement weather) and the scheduled make-up day.


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 contented in a car carrier or stroller. Emergency exceptions are considered.
