Classes - Kindermusik : Policies

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/her in the class best suited for him/her.

Free Visits

At certain times throughout each session, I am happy to schedule a free visit in one of my classes. Please call for availability.

Register Early

Although you may join our classes at any time, please register early since class sizes are limited and may fill quickly. Registering at least 3 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. If you sign up after the session has begun, you will be prorated for missed classes. This is only for those who sign up late for the semester.

You will be prorated $11.00 for Village, $10.00 for Our Time and $11.00 for Imagine That classes.

Enrollment Confirmation

A registration form and payment must be received before enrollment can be confirmed. You will receive a phone call, e-mail or mailed notice within two weeks to confirm your registration.

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 $20 processing fee are non-refundable.

Schedule and Make-up Classes

A schedule of the dates of your class will be given to you with registration confirmation. Classes 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. Make-up classes will generally be held the following Saturday.

Non-enrolled Siblings

Due to limited class size and the delicacy of the younger class setting, Village and Our Time classes can only accommodate non-enrolled siblings when the sibling is young or old enough to stay content in a side area of the room. Emergency exceptions are considered.

Making the Most of Kindermusik Classes

Please plan to arrive on time 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 books or listening

to music. Be sure to dress comfortably.
You will be asked to remove your shoes for the duration of 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. 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 Material. Frequent reinforcement at home throughout the week makes all the difference in a child’s comfort and participation in the classroom.

Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions. We will have a comment box available for those that would like to make suggestions anonymously.
