Classes will be made up in the event of teacher illness or inclement weather. Classes will be canceled if Columbia Public Schools are canceled due to inclement weather. This may exclude afternoon and evening classes. Afternoon and evening class participants will be contacted if class is canceled due to weather conditions. When a class is canceled, make-ups will be offered in the most convenient manner as possible. If make-up classes due to teacher absence or inclement weather cannot be scheduled during a semester, a credit or refund will be given.

If you miss a class due to illness, travel or the like, you are welcome to make up during a semester when the student is currently enrolled. Please arrange make-ups as sometimes classes are full. Remember that even if you miss a class, you are still getting the benefit of the home materials, weekly emails, etc. and you can still continue the learning!

Please help keep distractions to a minimum by turning off cell phones and pagers. Village babies may have drinks, pacifiers and, of course are welcome to nurse whenever necessary. For all other age groups, please leave all sippy cups, bottles, snacks and pacifiers in the outer area, so as not to be tempting to other little hands and mouths! If a child has a particular "lovey" or special item from home they cannot part with during class, please try to watch for unhappy friends, and remove the object if it causes problems with other children. Place shoes, bags, etc. in designated area. A designated area will be provided for your comfort for changing babies, nursing (if you require privacy), quiet place, etc. There are times during class when visiting is appropriate, but I encourage you to keep visiting to a minimum and focus your energy on your child.

Please be on time and ready to go so your child can settle into the musical environment! We have a terrific curriculum every semester, and it helps all the kids to really get involved if everyone is in place at the same time. If you are late, please slip in as quickly and quietly as possible, and start right in with the activity at hand. Plan to arrive a few minutes early for class. Your level of participation is entirely up to you. I encourage you to be an active and patient role-model. It is not uncommon for a child to attend several classes before feeling comfortable. Don't be discouraged, what a child is absorbing in class is often evidenced in the comfort of the home environment rather than in a certain level of participation in class. Demonstrations on how to participate will always be given only as suggestions. Feel free to modify any activity for you and your child to meet both of your needs.

Please be cautious both inside and outside of the building. Keep your child within your sight at all times and please do not allow them to climb on furniture, structures, etc. If you leave the waiting area or the building for any reason, make sure you have another parent available to help your child if needed.

You and your child will enormously benefit from the Kindermusik experience, especially if you make active use of your At Home Materials. Frequent reinforcement at home throughout the week makes all the difference in a child's comfort and participation in the classroom.
