Play-School.net | Policies

SIBLINGS:
Younger siblings that are not yet walking are welcome to attend class with their enrolled sibling. Once the younger sibling is walking then they must be enrolled in class to attend. Unenrolled siblings that are between the ages of baby-5 years old can attend Park hours at a drop in rate of $6. The un-enrolled sibling must be added to the Enrollment form if they are to ever attend Park. The $6 must be paid on the day of the drop-in. Siblings that are not yet out of their car seat or Snugli do not have to pay a Park fee.

PARK:
Although Park is a freeplay hour, please remember that you are always responsible for your child’s actions and well being while participating in Park. Play School is in no way a daycare facility and takes no responsibility for the supervision of your child.

HEALTHY CHILDREN:
Nothing is more important than the health of all of our Play School families.

If your child has vomited, had diarrhea or has had a fever within the last 24 hours they should stay home and rest. If your child is showing visible signs of a cold they should not attend Play School .

CLOTHING:
Although most of our Arts & Crafts materials will come out of clothing, comfortable “Play clothes” should be worn to class and Park. Children wear socks or go barefoot and parents wear socks.

REFUNDS:
When you enroll in a Play School class you are utilizing a spot that can generally not be filled until the next session. If you must withdraw from your session you can roll your tuition over to the next session or receive a partial refund. You are refunded half the value of your remaining session. You must officially notify your teacher that you are withdrawing if you plan to roll your tuition over to the next session or to request a refund.

MISSED CLASSES:
We eagerly anticipate and prepare for all of the children to be in class on their scheduled day. If you know in advance that you will have to miss a class, please let the teacher know as soon as possible. Missed classes must be made up during the session in which they were missed. If you must miss your class, call to schedule a make- up class. Missed classes will not be refunded.

PARENTAL ENCOURAGEMENT:
Play School classes are designed to be enjoyed together as a “Parent/Child” learning experience. Children are never forced to participate in any of the activities, however they should be encouraged to participate by their parent at least two times after the teacher has introduced an activity. Remember that the first 45 minutes of class are designed as a Parent/Child learning experience. The last 15 minutes of class is “Chat Time” for the parents and freeplay for the children. Please use class time to learn through play with your child.

ART:
Arts and crafts projects are done in every class. The art projects are always intended to be "process oriented", not "product oriented." It is the process of creating and discovering the art that is of importance, not the finished product.
