ESSENTIAL CLASS INFORMATION
PLEASE READ PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS
NO SHOES, PLEASE:
Children learn best when they can utilize all of their senses, including their bare feet! It also keeps our floors clean for everyone, especially our youngest learners who spend most of their time on the floor. Parents are encouraged to wear socks in class.
NON-ENROLLED SIBLINGS:
Due to studio policies, class size, and our goal of one-on-one, parent-child interaction, we ask that those enrolled in our classes make arrangements for non-enrolled siblings during weekly class times - or consider our classes that are specifically designated for families with baby/older siblings. One adult per child is recommended-- if there's room, both parents are welcome to join the circle. Thank you for helping us to promote the very best possible learning environment for all our students and families.
PROMOTING AN OPTIMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT:
• Children are constantly on the move (don't we wish we had their energy?) and in our Kindermusik classes, we take advantage of this boundless energy and transform it into musical and creative possibilities for our children. However, unsupervised running in close proximity to other children of varying ages is unsafe for everyone involved. In order to ensure a safe learning environment for everyone, please supervise your child. If your child needs to run, please hold his/her hand!
• Just as adults, children have good as well as bad days. Fortunately, music brings out the best in all of us! At times, your child may experience an "off day." Try to give your child a break from the class to regroup. Sometimes, that may be all a child needs, and a little talk from you.
• If on the other hand, a child is demonstrating unsafe and aggressive behavior (biting, kicking, hitting, or throwing objects) towards others and studio property, your child will be warned or if necessary, dismissed from class early. In the event there is a second offense, you will be asked to take your child home for the remainder of class time as well as the next class. A third offense will result in dismissal from the semester program for the safety of others. Musikandmotion reserves all rights to dismiss a child from the program if the safety of children, adults, and property are involved.
• If you are planning to take photos or video record your child in class, please request permission from the class instructor. We need your help in ensuring that music making is a process-based and not performance-based learning experience for all children who are keenly aware of their environment and adult responses to their behavior.
CLASS MAKE-UP POLICY AND SCHEDULE CHANGES:
• Missed classes may be made up only within the current semester of enrollment. A caregiver, nanny or family relative is welcome to bring your child to class in the event you can't attend the make-up class. Please call 916-419-6999 or email musikandmotion@yahoo.com to schedule your make-up class.
• If your child has a fever, is vomitting or has cold/flu symptoms, please keep him or her at home for the well-being of everyone and call or email to schedule your make-up class(es).
• If a class is canceled by the instructor due to illness or personal emergency the session will be made-up or refunded at a prorated hourly rate.
OUTSIDE FOOD, DRINKS, AND TOYS:
Please refrain from bringing outside food, drinks, or toys to our class time. If there are any special needs we should be aware of, please inform your instructor.
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION:
YOU are your child's most important teacher. Regardless of your own music background, be sure to sing and move joyfully in class to help create a positive music disposition for your child!
CLASS VISITS!
• Families currently enrolled in Kindermusik @ Musikandmotion are always welcome to arrange to have a new-to-Kindermusik friends visit a class during the semester! If your new-to-Kindermusik friend enrolls, you both receive a $25 tuition referral discount.
• Currently enrolled Kindermusik Families: If you are planning to bring family relatives to class (other than your spouse), please email or call Miss Sunny to make sure there's room-- thank you!
