Although you may join our class at any
time, please register early since class sizes are limited and many fill
quickly. Registering at least three weeks before the new semester ensures
that we will have your childs materials for you at the first class. If
you enroll after the semester begins, tuition can be pro-rated accordingly.
Please understand that you will not receive materials the first day
of class.
Payment Options
We are pleased to offer you flexibility in the
manner with which you pay which is why
we offer the option of paying with credit card at our
website.
Please note when paying by credit card you
will be charged a $10 processing fee which will be
charged to you as a separate payment. The same applies to
refunds via credit card. You will be
refunded x amount minus the processing fee. If you wish
to pay by check or direct deposit;
Please make payment to:
Annette Simmons
275 Carlton Terrace
Teaneck NJ 07666
Please note: All balances are due by the first class. Payment
arrangements may be allowed at the educator's discretion and must be approved
prior to attending class.
Pay Per Class-This option enables you to pay per class with the cost of materials as a separate fee.
At start of semester we will receive the semester length amount of
pre-dated checks of $20 each, to be deposited each week.
A separate check of $75 for materials fee.
Please be advised that this ensures your commitment to attend the entire semester.
Enrollment Confirmation
A registration form and payment must be received before enrollment can
be confirmed. You will receive a phone call, E-mail, or mailed notice within
two weeks to confirm your registration.
Refunds
We do not provide refunds due to traveling difficulties. We are
aware that real time traveling and schedules may be different than
original intent. This is why we offer a free trial class to see if our
location/time fits.
Tuition refunds or credit vouchers may be given if there are
extenuating circumstances requiring withdrawal from class. Each request
will be considered on an individual basis at the discretion of the educator.
The cost of materials plus a $15 processing fee are Non-Refundable.
There is a $100 Cancellation Fee.
Make-up Classes
Classes will be made up in the event of teacher illness or inclement
weather. You will be notified of the cancellation and the scheduled
make-up day. Likewise we ask that you respect the sanitary environment
that we strive to provide, and ask you to stay at home should you or your child
be ill. We want to share music, not germs. You may attend another class
if it is being offered, provided there is space.
Non-enrolled Siblings
Due to limited class size and the delicacy of the younger class
settings, we cannot accommodate non-enrolled siblings. Emergency exceptions are
considered.
Note: During our summer camps we encourage an older sibling
(high-school and older) to attend with the child in lieu of a caretaker if the
parent is not available. The class provides a unique opportunity for bonding
between siblings.
Making the most of class
Plan to arrive about 5-10 minutes early. This provides time for
you and your child to settle in to the musical environment.
We do request that toys, snacks and drinks be kept out of sight.
(There is a waiting area/restroom where you can attend to your childs needs.)
Be sure to dress comfortably.
We ask that all who attend (parent and child) take off their shoes
before class. Not only do we wish to maintain our clean floors/carpet;
we receive the added benefit of experiencing/learning through the touch of our
feet.
During class, the most important thing you can do for your child is to
be an active and patient role model. It is not uncommon for a child to
attend several classes before feeling comfortable. Dont be discouraged-
what a child is absorbing in class is often evidenced in the comfort of the
home environment rather than a certain level of participation in class. The
understanding and consistency of the adult in class and at home are key to
facilitating musical learning and growth.
You and your child will benefit from the Kindermusik experience,
especially if you make active use of your At Home Materials.
Frequent reinforcement at home makes all the difference in the childs comfort
and participation in the classroom
Summer Camp Policies (In addition to our regular Fall/Spring policies)
We are providing specialized policies for summertime due to a different
learning environment.
Advance Deposits/Reservations:
Due to the complex nature of camps needs we provide additional materials aside
from the Fall/Spring musical supplies. For this reason, and to ensure that your
child(ren) will have all materials
necessary for a successful experience, we ask that a $50.00 deposit be remitted
prior to June 20th. Those who do NOT wish to pay a deposit; i..e. FREE
previews, pay in full first day of class, mid semester enrollments, etc)

low enrollment with a full refund to you. We DO NOT begin a class unless there

of your child's involvement. Should a cancellation occur, we will offer
you every other possibility (another class, payment towards a future semester
etc) to attend.

e-mail or phone.
