Your check, made payable to My Playground, plus these two forms must be received no later than one week after class confirmation or your first class day, whichever comes first. If we do not receive these items on time then we may fill your spot with someone else on our waiting list.

Tuition is considered ‘on time’ if post-marked by the due date.

LATE FEES

If tuition is received late, including just one day late and checks returned unpaid, you will be charged a $10 late fee and may forfeit your spot in class to someone who is waiting to enroll. 100% of all late fees go into a scholarship fund for underserved children to attend My Playground in the Summer (thank you!). A $20 fee will be charged for any check that is returned unpaid.

WITHDRAWAL

Class size is limited and we have waiting lists. Please, you must give us 2-weeks notice if you or your child will no longer attend class so that we may have the opportunity to contact another child who is waiting to join. Make-up classes never expire as long as your child is fully enrolled in the program. Make-up classes expire only if enrollment ends.

SIBLINGS

Siblings who are not enrolled in class are not allowed in class. It is not safe to have children at My Playground who are unsupervised. Play equipment and activities are appropriate only for the published age of the class.

WHAT TO WEAR

You and/or your child should wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move around in and not restrictive, heavy or bulky. Avoid nylon as well as any clothing material that has a ‘slick’ surface since this can cause slipping and sliding on some equipment. No socks, jewelry, jeans, cargo pants, exposed buttons or zippers.
Gymnastics Classes: leotard or shorts + t-shirt (bare feet and legs please…no socks or tights).

No shoes of any kind are allowed in the studio. You and/or your child should plan to participate barefoot. Socks are fine for adults but children should be barefoot for safety and to maximize their gross motor development.

HAIR

Pulled back off of face; secure ponytails close to the neck, so child may roll comfortably on floor.

FOOD

No food in studio. Please bring your own water to drink in the waiting room (there is no drinking fountain). No gum anywhere.

ABSENCES (SUBS & MAKE-UPS)

Absences (subs and make-ups): You may give another child of appropriate age your spot temporarily on a day that you cannot attend class (a ‘substitute’). That child’s parent or caregiver must sign a liability waiver and Rules and Regulations sheet prior to attending class; they will not be allowed to participate without signing these documents. Please make your own arrangements for a substitute and then notify My Playground at least 24 hours in advance of the class, either via phone or email, of the name of your substitute.

Space permitting, you may also make-up a missed class any time. Make-up classes must be scheduled ahead of time with My Playground to make sure there is sufficient room in class.

Make-up classes never expire as long as your child is fully enrolled in the program. Make-up classes expire only if enrollment ends.

Illness: Please do not come if either you or your child is ill or injured. Stay home, find a substitute if you wish (we suggest you make arrangements with substitute-friends ahead of time which will help you at the last minute) and get well!

CANCELLED CLASSES (HOLIDAYS, SNOW DAYS)

Cancelled Classes: You will not be charged if classes are cancelled. Classes are always cancelled on these major holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. NOTE: Many minor holidays like President’s Day and Columbus Day occur on class days and we do hold classes on those days. Let us know if you have questions about a particular holiday.

Snow: Even if schools have cancelled class due to snow, we will make every effort to have class on those days, just as most businesses do in Truckee. If you are wondering whether your class has been cancelled due to weather, please call 587-7404 and a recorded message will specifically say ‘classes are cancelled’; otherwise we’ll see you in class!
