Since expenses continue whether or not your child is present, there are no deductions in weekly tuition fees for absences. Please notify the office if your child is ill and will not be attending. Parents must notify our office if their child will not be attending for a particular day or being picked up early. If our studio provides transportation for your child, this information is required for the transportation vehicle attendance record. If your child is to be withdrawn from our after-school program, a 2-week notice is needed, and the account paid in full by the time of withdrawal.

If the studio has not obtained a verbal follow-up authorization from the parent, the child will not be released. Parents picking children up at the end of the day must sign them out before leaving.

 

Changes

Our studio must be immediately notified of changes in telephone numbers (home or work), job, family status, custody changes, medical status, doctors or authorized persons to pick up your child. 

Snacks

 

Our after-school program includes a short snack break in its schedule. A light snack is provided, but parents may provide additional snacks and drinks. These may be stored at the studio in the student’s locker or in the Kickin’ Kids After School Care foods storage area. Please label with their name. 

 

Illnesses

Children who become ill during the day may not remain in the studio. Parents will be called to pick up the child as soon as possible. To prevent the spread of infection, please keep your child at home when he / she has an elevated temperature, upset stomach, skin infection or serious cold. If your child has fever, please keep them home until they are fever free for at least 24 hours. Please notify the office if your child will be absent from school and our studio. All illnesses should be reported immediately. 

 

Injuries

If your child is injured at the studio, the only treatment that is provided is cleaning with soap and water, ice, Band-Aid and TLC. Individual “accident and incident” reports are given to the parent to inform them of the injury. 

 

Any injury that requires more than basic treatment will necessitate a parent coming to the studio to determine if professional medical care is needed.
