~class observation weeks

Parents are invited in to observe classes 3 times throughout our main session.  Weeks are listed below.  For our summer classes, observation is the last week of each session.  Class observation is limited for two reasons;

  1. It is difficult for parents to notice their child's progress by constant watching
  2. Many children become easily distracted by visitors in the classroom thus hindering their progress.  Our youngest students are especially upset by visitors in the room.
october 22nd - 27th
january 28th - february 2nd
april 14th - 19th

Please feel free to speak to your child’s instructor at any time to learn you child’s progress.  

~snow closings

We do not necessarily close when the local schools close as our situation is very different than theirs.  In case of inclement weather, (i.e. bad snow, ice storms, etc.) please check this website or check the studio voice mail.  

If we must cancel in the middle of the evening, we will make phone calls to let you know as early as possible.
Cancelled classes will be made up in late spring.
