General Policies
Confirmation: You will receive a confirmation letter or e-mail detailing your enrollment and account status prior to the first day of class. You will be contacted by telephone if your first choice is unavailable.
Payment: A $20 one-time enrollment fee per family is required for new registrations. An initial non-refundable $75 deposit per child is required with this registration. Any remaining balance is due on or before the first day of class. A $15 late fee will be assessed to all outstanding accounts after week 3 of the semester. Please make checks payable to Miss Barb's Music Studio, Inc. A $10 family discount is applied to each Kindermusik enrollment following the enrollment of your first child. A $20 discount is applied for sibling kits requested at the time of registration. There are no refunds.
Home Resources: Home resources are included as part of your Kindermusik classroom experience and will be given to your child the first day of class. Please expect your materials on the second week of class if you enroll less than two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. A full kit contains recorded music, instruments, and books all themed to continue your musical experience at home. A sibling kit is available for repeating families and does not include CD's or books. Please order a full kit if this is your family's first time taking a class; contact your educator to select a sibling kit if you have already taken this curriculum title with another child
Closings & Bad Weather: There will be no classes during a level 3 emergency. We encourage you to make the decision to attend class or not based on your family's particular circumstances and comfort level with the ice and snow.
Illness Policy: Is it a cold? Is she teething? Is it contagious? Parents often struggle over the decision of whether or not to send their child to preschool, Kindermusik, and other activities when their child appears ill. For your child's health and in consideration of other children, we recommend that your child remain home if he or she has the following symptoms within the past 24 hours:
- Fever of 100.0 or higher
- Severe, frequent and/or deep cough
- Unidentified skin rash
- Vomiting and/or diarrhea
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- Untreated infected patches of skin (impetigo)
- Stiff neck, accompanied by other symptoms such as headache, fever, sensitivity to light and sound
- Flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body and muscle aches, sore throat and dry cough
- Strep throat symptoms such as chills, fever, difficulty swallowing, earache, and/or abdominal pain
- Cold-like symptoms such as running nose with thick discharge
- Has been receiving antibiotic medications for less than 48 hours
Please be assured that we do all that we can to provide a clean, healthy and safe environment for your family. If you do need to miss a class due to illness, please contact your educator to schedule a make-up class.
