Advanced Scheduling & Payment

To ensure we are properly staffed and can provide the best experience, we ask parents to enroll for specific days and times in advance. Your tuition reserves your child's spot for these scheduled days. Because of this, payment is required regardless of absence, and scheduled days cannot be traded.
