Studio Policies:
Please review and agree to our studio/business policies:
Parking lot- DO NOT EVER LET YOUR CHILD PLAY IN THE PARKING LOT. We often see parents chatting in the lobby after class while their child walks out the door without them. We also see parents chatting outside the studio while their child plays between cars or in the neighboring business parking. This is absolutely against studio policy. Children are not to be left outside without supervision or leave the building without an adult.
Where to park- East Greenwich location;Â Parking is open to you while at the studio- Providence location; please park in the school parking lot across the street, or on the street, our small parking lot is reserved for faculty and residence.Â
Send your student(s) to the studio prepared for class- Have the student(s) dressed in the necessary uniform.
Viewing window- The viewing window gives you an opportunity to watch class every so often and see the student's progress. Please feel free to watch class. If you notice students paying more attention to you than the instructor, please move away from the window. You might be a distraction to other students in the class, or possibly the teacher. Do not allow siblings to stand in lobby chairs while watching through the viewing window. Please make sure siblings are not distracting class.
The lobby- Families are always welcome in the lobby but please keep in mind that lobby space is limited and it gets really hot in the waiting area. If you utilize the lobby, please throw trash away and straighten toys before leaving. Please replace chairs if you move them.
Before and after class- Most classes start as a class ends. Please gather your child and be prepared to leave the building after class is over. Please be courteous to the class that comes after your class is over.
Communication- The best way to communicate with teachers is by emailing through email or calling the studio. Phone messages may not be returned the same day. Teachers cannot accept calls during class time.
