_______________________________

PARTICIPATION/EXPECTATIONS IN CLASS: 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 in class. Don’t be discouraged – what a child is absorbing in class is often evidenced in the comfort of the home environment rather than in a certain level of participation in class. The understanding and consistency of the parent or caregiver in class and at home are key to facilitating musical learning and growth.

You and your child will enormously benefit from the Kindermusik experience, especially if you make active use of your At Home materials. Reinforcement and enjoyment of the Kindermusik materials at home during the week make all the difference in a child’s comfort and security in the classroom.

We love for parents to visit before class during Gathering Time or after class, but not during class time, please! When you are an active, focused, enthusiastic participant in the class activities, your child will model your actions and focus more fully too.

Many parents tell us that they see a completely different child at home as they share Kindermusik activities there. It’s okay if your child is hesitant in the group environment. If your child cannot focus on the present activity – don’t worry, but do actively attempt to help them refocus or quietly engage them in participating in their own way.

WHEN TO ARRIVE: Plan to arrive between 5-10 minutes early for class. Arriving a little before class provides time for your child to settle in to the musical environment as they prepare to enjoy exploring instruments, reading books, or listening to music. (Punctuality is always appreciated!)

WHAT TO BRING: As a courtesy to others, toys, juice cups, and pacifiers should be kept out of sight, and snacks should be finished prior to class. Be sure to dress comfortably—we will be moving on the floor to lots of fun activities. If you are unable to set your cell phone to vibrate mode or turn it off, please take calls outside the classroom, keeping your child with you.

CLASS SIZE: Class size is normally between 5 and 12 children but will be determined based on the needs of individual children in the class. Classes will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis. We recommend you register early to avoid disappointment.

SICK CHILDREN: If your child has a fever, please wait until he/she is fever-free for 24 hours before returning to class. If your child has suffered a stomach bug or has thrown up within the last 24 hours please keep them at home. If your child has a severe cough, thick nasal discharge, rash or conjunctivitis please let them rest at home. Click here to schedule a make-up class.

ALLERGIES: In recognition of that some children and adults have allergies; we request that no peanut products enter the studio and that no strong perfume or after-shave be worn to the studio.

MAKE-UP CLASSES: Families enrolled in Kindermusik By Kaelie can schedule unlimited make-up classes for illness or travel as long as they are enrolled. We ask that at least 24hrs notice be given for missed classes via email or phone call.  You may schedule a make-up class online by visiting https://kindermusikbykaelie.com/make-up-classes/. Please schedule your make-up class 24hrs before your desired class. These classes must be made up before the end of the session or the end of your registration whichever comes first. Make-ups may not be done in classes that are already full or in a class you are currently enrolled in. No cash value.
