Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a class for my child?
The age recommendations outlined for Kindermusik have been carefully constructed to best group children in an age- and developmentally-appropriate way. If you have concerns about your child's success in a particular age range, we are happy to discuss your child's needs and to work with you to place him in the class best suited for him. You are always welcome to try different classes until we find the perfect fit.
May I attend a class to see if we like Kindermusik?
Yes! we encourage and welcome visitors to attend a FREE preview class. Between semesters, we hold demonstrations that allow families to get a taste of Kindermusik. During the semester, we also allow visitors; however, please call or e-mail us first, so we can make sure to have materials prepared.
How do I make certain that my materials will be available at the first class?
Register early! If we do not have your registration form and deposit by at least two weeks before the start date of the first class of the semester, you may not receive materials at the first class.
Can I join the semester after it has already started?
Yes, if space is available. Of course, tuition will be pro-rated for the remaining classes.
What if I have to bring a sibling?
In order to allow you to focus your attention completely on the enrolled child, we encourage you not to bring siblings to classes. (Although they are welcome during Sharing Time in Imagine That classes!) However, if circumstances will require you to bring a sibling to a class other than Family Time or Imagine That!, please call us. We may still be able to work something out.
Can my spouse, grandmother, etc. come watch the class?
Absolutely! Spouses and relatives are always welcome to attend (and participate).
What should we do with our At Home Materials?
Play, sing, fill in the hours of long rainy days! Enjoying the home activites, listening to your CD, reading your books, and playing your instruments adds tremendously to the benefits of the class experience. In fact, families frequently tell us that their Kindermusik CDs are family favorites. Part of the Kindermusik magic is making music a part of your everyday life; that is why you receive At Home materials!
Are advertised classes ever cancelled?
Unfortunately, yes. We need enrollment of at least 4 - 5 children per class in order to hold that class. If enrollment is low 2 weeks before the class is to start, you will be contacted so we can explore the option of another class. The final decision will be made no later than 7 days before class start. If no satisfactory arrangements can be made, any money you have paid will be refunded.
Do you offer make ups?
Only if we happen to offer another class during the week which would be appropriate for your child, in which case you are welcome to attend should you miss your own class.
Do you give deductions for missed classes?
Sorry, no. But should you be aware of certain dates you will be gone prior to registration, notify the director and we will happily deduct for those classes.
