Away Policies
Guarantee
At Play Away satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not completely
satisfied with Play Away, we will refund any unused portion
of your child's tuition. Sorry, registration fees are non-refundable.
Refunds will be calculated based on total classes taken at
the closest Play Away rate to the number of classes taken.
Non-Enrolled Siblings
We
cannot accommodate non-enrolled siblings in any class with
the exception of infants who remain in a car seat or in wearable
carriers. If you have an older sibling home from school on
break or otherwise, we ask that you please try to schedule
a make-up class. It has been our experience that older siblings
just can not help but want to play on the equipment and it
is to inviting for them to ignore. (Sorry) Children over the
age of 10 can attend as a mothers helper as long as they do
not use the equipment.
Clothes
Parents and kids should wear comfortable
play clothes. Parents must wear
socks - no shoes, if you have
forgotten them we can provide a pair at a cost of $3 per pair.
Children should be bare foot or wearing socks. Dresses should
not be worn; they may interfere with class activities.
Healthy
Kids
Please bring only healthy children. Your child should remain
at home if he or she has had a fever, vomited, or had diarrhea
within the past 24 hours or if he is exhibiting contagious
cold symptoms (usually during the first few days of a cold.).
If you see another child with a runny nose or cough, do not
automatically assume the child is contagious. Allergy symptoms
can resemble cold symptoms. We at Play Away reserve the right
to refuse admittance to the class if we feel that the child
is too ill to participate. We will gladly offer a make-up
class!
Who can bring my child to the class?
If for some reason you cannot bring your child to his/her
scheduled class, any adult relative or caregiver may take
your place. Please make them aware of all Play Away policies
and let them know what to expect ahead of time.
Class Behavior
Class time should be enjoyable for all. If your child is disrupting
the group, or is in any way harming other children, we kindly
ask that the parent or caregiver remove the child from the
group until said behavior has stopped. If the child is unable
to attend the remainder of the class, a make-up class will
gladly be given. Play Away reserves the right not to allow
a child or parent to return to class if their behavior is
deemed unacceptable, Play Away will refund any unused portion
of class fees if a child or parents behavior is deemed as
such.
Make-ups and Refunds
We welcome you to make-up any missed class within your paid
session period. We must be contacted in advance to schedule
a spot for your child in the make-up class. Your
makeup classes may carry over into the next session, only
if you are signed up for the session that immediately follows.
Missed classes can not be added to the end of a session.
Food
No food or drinks are allowed past the tiled areas. No
exceptions. This includes any
and all spill proof bottles and cups.
Play
Away policies for cancellation or switching of a class already
paid for:
Play Away reserves the right to cancel a class that does not
meet minimum enrollment requirements (3 or more students),
or to switch that class to another day and/or time period.
Students having paid for a cancelled class will receive a
full refund. If a class is rescheduled to another day and/or
time, students will have the option to enroll in that class.
Safety
- Attendance and playing at a Play Away facility is at your
own risk and you assume that risk for your child...
Play Away offers a safe and fun place for children and their
parents to interact, however play and the use of the Play
Away facilities are at your own risk. Should you join play
away we have some very basic rules that need to be followed.
First, never leave your child un-attended. Second be aware
of your surroundings especially when swings or other hanging
apparatus are in use. Pay close attention to those around
you, both children and parents while apparatus’ is in use.
Since class sizes vary you might be asked to help dismount
the apparatus you were using, or take hold of the apparatus
until it is dismounted by Play Away staff. And lastly, follow
the direction of your Play Away instructor whose only goal
is your child’s, and your safety and satisfaction.
What
If My Child does not want to participate?
Here
at Play Away we let the child be the guide. At this early
age, not participating in an activity is entirely appropriate!!
Our group activities are encouraged but we never want to force
a child to participate.
Children learn in different ways, some will participate, some
will learn by watching and others by listening. We often hear
from parents that a child who seemed not to be participating
will repeat the songs and activities later at home.
Play Away equipment is very inviting, and some children will
be far more interested in the equipment than in the group
activities. We can still sing the songs with our child even
though he or she may be climbing or playing in another part
of the room. Eventually most children will join the group,
but it may take weeks or even months. We at Play Away feel
the child should be able to join the activities at his or
her own pace.
