- They are showing symptoms during their time in class or in the facility (our staff members are permitted to ask child/person to wear a mask if this be the case, unless under he age of two.)

We will try our best arrange make-ups for any days missed.
SANITATION & CLEANING

Please do not bring your child to class if they, or a member of their household, is sick or diagnosed with any illnesses or symptoms, or have been exposed to any illness. We will try to figure out a way for them to make-up the classes when possible, later in the session when they are healthy, or have quarantined.
