Re-enrollment
Because studio space is limited and families’ schedules may change, please re-enroll or confirm your spot each semester if you wish to continue lessons. I will send a reminder notice ahead of time.
Missed or upcoming absences
If a student is unable to attend a lesson for any reason, the lesson will still be charged as the time and space have already been reserved. However, make-up lessons may be scheduled at no additional cost.
If a make-up lesson cannot be completed within the same semester, you are welcome to schedule it during the following semester.
Ways to make up a lesson
You may choose one of the following options:
-
Propose several time slots that work with your schedule, so I can pick one that best fits your students age group.
-
Request two back-to-back lessons on a day when your student already has a lesson.
-
If you are unable to finish all the make-up lessons, consider to share them with a sibling or a friend.
Drop-off time
The studio door will open 5 minutes before the lesson begings. If you arrive early, remain in your car or wait outside the studio. For safety reasons, children should not be left outside the studio unsupervised. I am not responsible for a parent or caregiver’s negligence.
Pick-up time
Please pick up your child promptly so the next lesson may begin on time. Repeated late pick-ups will result in an additional charge of $1 per minute.
Refund Policy
Refunds are available if the lessons are not a good fit for your student for any reason. Refunds take effect on the day I receive your email request.
Contact Information
Email is the most reliable and efficient way to reach me. I typically check email around noon and late evening.
You may also call or text me at 217-377-7477. Please identify yourself as the parent or caregiver of the student in your message.
Studio Courtesy
Please do not sell cookies, pies, or other items in the studio—I still have many leftovers from last year (!).
By enrolling your student in the program, you acknowledge and agree to these policies.
