STUDIO CLASS DETAILS

Every Sunday at noon (during our session) I send out an email to keep everyone updated. This is where you can find the upcoming weeks make up class options.

No shoes in class. We try to keep our floor as clean as possible for all our littles.

Smart Toys is allowing us to use the room across the hallway to store shoes and bags. You are always welcome to store bags/purses on the counter.

NO FOOD or DRINKS in class.

NO TOYS in class. Other children will see the toy and attempt to take it away - this never ends well.

If your class is at 9:30, we will unlock Smart Toys & Books door by 9:20. The doors will be locked at 9:33 to stat class - ST&B staff usually (but not always) arrive by 9:40 and can let you in if you are running late.

Families will have their own space - A meditation mat to sit on. Children will and are encouraged to explore our room - can't stop curiosity!

No refunds will be issued after the first week of classes.

You are welcome to make up missed classes anytime while enrolled at Knox Kindermusik. 

If you know you are going to miss a week - you are welcome to make up the class before your missed class.

Make up classes will follow you from session to session and missed classes can be made up in any session - as long as you are enrolled.  If you do not enroll in the next session, those make up classes will be on "hold" till you re-enroll. 

Disruptive Class Behavior:

This is a fantastic setting to learn so much! Some behaviors might be appropriate at home - but not in a class setting. Learning social skills can be a challenge for our littles, and this is the best opportunity for you, and other caregivers, to teach our littles.

Disruptive behaviors are:

Hitting, pushing, running non-stop, screaming, any behavior that infringes on another families opportunity to enjoy class. 

(These behaviors are not common, but I want everyone to have the same game plan at Knox Kindermusik - so we are ready to help guide and teach when necessary.)

If your little pushes or hits another again,  repeat the reset option. 

If there is a third time it might be the time to call it a day, rarely does a third event occur....  

The pushing and hitting isn't out of anger, they are exploring social boundaries, we as adults are here to teach appropriate social and class behaviors. 

Kindermusik is a weekly highlight for our littles and they will learn quickly that hitting/pushing isn't appropriate in class.

Constant running - not stopping when asked to stop - use the verbiage: slow feet - let's walk in class. Running is unsafe for both the little running and possible others they run into. 

If they continue to run after verbal re-direction a quick re-set across the hall should help decrease class running.

Screaming - A little squeal here and there is normal - especially when the parachute and bubbles come out :) But, if your little is screaming and isn't responding to "indoor voice" or other re-directions... this is another opportunity to re-set across the hall. 

We really haven't experienced a lot of disruptive behaviors - but we really want to be on the same page and be pro-active instead of reactive. 

Our "re-set" plan is working like a charm - and on average it occurs once or twice a week.... and we run over 20 classes a week, so again - not a common event.

If you have questions about this policy please ask! 

We are here to help and assist - but our first obligation is to facilitate a fantastic & fun music class for you and your little and your classmates.
