CLASS OR TEACHER CHANGES:

• We recognize the importance of maintaining a regular schedule for you and your child, as well as the importance of the relationship children develop with their instructors. However, there may be times when we must make changes in your child’s class or instructor

• Sometimes decreased enrollment in a class requires us to close it. We immediately adjust our schedules to find a new class for the affected students. In that case, we will contact you to arrange for the next most convenient class time that is available in your child’s level

• Occasionally, teachers' schedules change and their students must be transferred to other teachers. All of our teachers are great, but getting used to a new teacher is sometimes hard for young children. We aim to be patient and supportive of the kids during such a transition, and appreciate your understanding.
