It is expected that tuition fees be paid in full at the time of registration. One months notice is required if a parent or guardian chooses to withdraw their child. In the event of withdrawal a refund will be issued corresponding to notice given.
MAKE -UP AND CANCELLATION
Fiddlesticks reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or combine classes. Should Fiddlesticks need to cancel a class or classes due to personal or administrative reasons a reimbursement will be given. Should Fiddlesticks be required to enforce cancellation or closure due to unforeseeable circumstances, such as poor weather conditions or a community health risk, reimbursement will not be issued. Lengthy absence of a child due to illness or crisis will be considered for refund. However, neither credit nor refund will be given for missed classes due to common illness or absence due to personal leave.
SNACK
Please ensure that your child arrives to class with a selection of healthy, simple foods and a drink that he/she will enjoy in a social environment. Children are not permitted to share snacks during class time. Please do not send any nuts or foods that contain nuts.
DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP
Fiddlesticks operates in a residential neighborhood and we ask for the cooperation of families to uphold a positive and supportive relationship with the community. Parents and/or caregivers are expected to mind their child(ren) both in and out of the studio during drop-off and pick-up time.The door is opened at the start-time of class and children are dismissed at the end-time of class.A child will not be released to any person other than those listed on the Registration Form and Emergency Permission Card and notice should be given if there is any variance to normal routine. Fiddlesticks is not responsible for any strollers, bikes or trailers left on the premises.
HEALTH
Sick children are expected to stay at home and if a child develops symptoms of illness during class time a call will be made to request that the child be collected and taken home. A Permission to Administer Medication form must be completed in the case that a child be well enough to attend class but may require medication during class time.
GUIDANCE
Fiddlesticks practices a preventative rather than a reactive approach to discipline based upon age appropriate and safe boundaries. Individual guidance for each child, establishes a basis for making choices and the understanding of the consequences that follow. Clear expectations, positive reinforcement, and mutual respect are unrelenting elements of the social environment. Should the child exhibit inappropriate behavior in subsequent classes, he/or she will be asked to withdraw from the program.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION
In the event of a declared emergency, Fiddlesticks will provide the best possible care for your child. If necessary, children will be evacuated from our building and walked to our designated safe area in the field of Oaklands Elementary School. Please familiarize yourself with this alternate location.
