MAKE-UPS: With the aim to create a positive teaching and learning environment, we provide our teachers with dependable schedules and class lists. Due to this fact we are unable to accomodate make-up classes if your child has to miss a class for illness or vacation. Our morning classes are often comfortably full and frequent changes would make things difficult for the teacher and other children.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL CLASSES ARE SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION WITH FULL REIMBURSEMENT IF ENROLLMENT THRESHOLD IS NOT MET.
