Policies & FAQs

Registration & enrollment

Registration is required for all classes. A space is held only after registration and at least the first installment of tuition is paid. Classes are capped at 8 families to protect class quality and caregiver engagement.

Tuition

$252 for a 10-week session paid in full at registration, or $264 total in two installments of $132 — one at registration and one at the start of Week 5. Music Together® materials (songbook, recordings, app access) are included. Tuition is charged per session, not per class attended; absences don’t change the amount owed.

Makeups

Makeup classes are available on a space-available basis, within the same session. If you can let us know by email ahead of time that you will be absent one week, that will allow us to make space for a makeup or a first time visitor. When you are ready to schedule a make up, let us know what class(es) you’d like to attend so we can confirm we have room. Makeups aren’t guaranteed and don’t carry over between sessions.

Cancellations & refunds

If you cancel at least 14 days prior to the first class of the session, tuition is fully refundable minus a $25 administrative fee. Between 14 days and 3 days before the first class, refunds are 50%. Within 3 days prior to the first class, tuition is non-refundable. Cancellation requests must be in writing (email is fine).

Weather cancellations

Two snow makeup days are built into the Winter calendar. If we cancel for weather, families are notified by 8 PM the night before when possible, and no later than two hours before class — by text to the primary phone on file, and posted on the Maple & Spruce Facebook page and this website. If more dates are cancelled than the two snow makeup days cover, families receive a prorated refund of $25.20 per missed class, or may apply the credit toward the next session.

Illness

If your child is sick, please stay home and let us know — we’ll schedule a makeup. If a sibling who’d normally come along is sick, please leave them home too. Keeping our classroom safe for the youngest babies depends on all of us.

Siblings & visitors

All children in class must be registered. If you have a registered child and a younger sibling under 9 months at the start of the session, the younger sibling may attend free. Older siblings or out-of-town visitors attending one or two classes are welcome occasionally; if a visitor will attend three or more times, they need to be registered students.

Each child is always accompanied by an adult caregiver; a second adult is very welcome as long as space is available. Please let us know when you plan to bring a second adult, so we can make sure there is space for everyone.

Photos & video in class

Please put your phone away during class — partly for other families’ privacy, and partly because when you’re filming you’re not making music with your child, and they notice. We will make sure to designate a couple photo times during the session so everyone can take photos while ensuring family’s privacy needs are met. You’re also welcome to take photos after class!

What to wear and bring

Wear clothes you can move and dance in. You’re welcome to wear soft/tennis shoes or go in socks or barefoot! Please avoid hard soled shoes or boots to minimize the risk of a misplaced step hurting little toes.
