Class Cancellations

In rare instances, a class that a parent signed up for may be canceled for the upcoming or current session. If this occurs, that parent will have the option to switch to another class time or receive a refund.

Missed Classes and MakeUps

One makeup class will be offered each session if a student must miss a class (dependent upon availability). Additional make-up classes may be granted for extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis at the teacher's discretion. Make-ups must be completed during the current session. If a parent would like to attend a particular class as a make-up class, they must notify the teacher in advance and receive permission to attend. Parents are encouraged to notify their teacher in advance if they will be absent from an upcoming class so that more makeup slots will be available for other students.

Cancellations and Refunds

If a parent or child must cancel enrollment for circumstances outside of their control (i.e. moving out of state), they will be refunded a prorated amount for the remaining weeks, subtracting $30 from the total amount to cover costs for materials and processing fees.

Sickness

For the benefit of all other children, parents must keep sick children at home. The teacher or business reserves the right to send a child home if they are visibly sick.

Medical Emergencies

In the case of an emergency, the teacher or someone at the facility will call 911. Neither The New Old School of Music, LLC nor the facility has medical staff available, and they cannot provide emergency or other medical treatment.

Classroom Etiquette

For the enjoyment of all parents, caregivers, and children, we ask that parents & caregivers follow our terms of classroom etiquette:

• Please turn off your cell phones or set them to vibrate. If parents need to take an emergency call, they should step outside the classroom with their child.
• If a child becomes upset and is disrupting the class, parents are advised to step outside, comfort their child and return when their child feels better.
• Talking amongst parents during class is strongly discouraged so that parents can focus on their child’s development. (Talking & building community is highly encouraged before or after class.)
• Please arrive ten minutes before class begins.

Safety Protocol

• Parents or attending caregivers should never do anything or have their children do anything that feels unsafe or physically uncomfortable.
• Parents or attending caregivers must supervise their children at all times or designate a trusted adult to supervise their children in their absence.
• Parents or attending caregivers are not to leave their child unattended with their The Learning Groove teacher for any reason.

Sibling & Guest Policy

Younger siblings, under 9 months old, can come to class for free. Older siblings or friends are not allowed to attend class unless approved by the teacher.

Food & Drink

To maintain cleanliness, food is prohibited in the classroom. It is recommended that parents feed their children before or after classes, though they may step outside if their child needs food during class. Drinks in sippy cups are OK in class.
