Class Information & Terms of Service for TLG Class Enrollment

 

Class Cancellations:

In rare instances a class that a parent signed up for may be cancelled 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 Make-Ups:

One make-up 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 for an upcoming class, so that more make-up slots will be available for other students.

 

Cancellations and Refunds:

If a parent or child must cancel enrollment for circumstances outside of their control, they will be refunded a prorated amount for 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.  Your TLG teacher or business reserves the right to send a child home if they are visibly sick.

 

Medical Emergencies:

In the case of an emergency, your TLG teacher or someone at the facility will call 911. Neither The Learning Groove nor the facility have 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:

1) 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.

2) If a child becomes upset & is disrupting the class, parents are advised to step outside, comfort their child and return when their child feels better.

3) 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.)

4) Please arrive ten minutes before class begins.

 

Safety Protocol:

1) Parents or attending caregivers should never do anything or have their children do anything that feels unsafe or physically uncomfortable

2) Parents or attending caregivers must supervise their children at all times or designate a trusted adult to supervise their children in their absence.

3) Parents or attending caregivers are not to leave their child unattended with their TLG Teacher for any reason.

 

Sibling & Guest Policy:

Younger siblings, under 8 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 thier 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.

 

Personal Belongings:

Neither The Learning Groove, your TLG teacher nor the facility hosting classes are responsible for any personal belongings.

 

Weather:

In the event of inclement weather, parents will be contacted with pertinent information via email, your local TLG teacher’s website or phone recording.

 

Change of Information:

To protect the welfare and safety of all children, parents must notify their TLG teacher or business in writing of any change in address, telephone number, medical information, caregiver information or emergency contact information.

Protection:

If any child or caregiver creates a situation that in the sole discretion of your TLG teacher or the facility creates an unsafe or unprofessional environment, then your TLG teacher or business has the unilateral right to revoke the enrollment of the offending party.  Should this extreme situation happen then the offending family will be issued a full refund for the  unused portion of your enrollment fee minus $30.
