Payment Plans      
For the 08-09 School Year, either pay in full, or, to pay in installments, make a deposit of $80 for BT, TT, and PT, or $100 for YM and KB.

If registering with a deposit, BT, TT, and PT families can elect to pay the balance by check after receiving an emailed statement mid-quarter; or elect to have the balance charged automatically to a credit card at week four.

YM and KB families and families with 2 or more children in any age group can elect monthly or quarterly auto-pays toward the balance by credit card, or, to pay by check,  elect to pay every two months upon receiving an emailed statement, with payments due on the 1st of Oct., Dec., Feb., and Apr.

For YM and KB families on installments who also have children in BT, TT, or PT, it will be assumed that the younger children on the quarter calendar are continuing all year, so that an annualized installment amount can be calculated. Changes can be made as needed.

Prorating
If a family joins a class after the session has started, tuition (not materials) will be prorated. Inquire for the amount.
 
Family Discount
There is a 10% discount on tuition for all children from the same family, but no discount on materials.
 
Refunds and Withdrawals
There are no refunds or credits for absences. After withholding a $25 cancellation fee, a refund for withdrawal is given on a pro-rated basis from the date of notification, and only for pre-paid tuition, not materials which have been received and taken home.
 
Snow Policy
If Seattle School District is closed for the day, only the MORNING classes here are cancelled, and the AFTERNOON classes will be decided around 1:00. If Seattle School District is running 2 hours late, all classes here are held on schedule.

Make-ups
A different class time may be attended to make up a missed class. The Studio is not responsible if there are no other days for your child's age group. Make-ups may be carried over into a subsequent quarter only if the family is enrolled in the subsequent semester. The studio reserves the right to use a holiday week to makeup classes which the studio cancelled.
 
Scholarships
Scholarships are available for tuition, not materials, for children with developmental or financial need. At this time, scholarships for Young Musician and Piano have all been awarded for 08-09. Scholarships are still available for Baby Time, Together Time, and Play Time.  Please write a letter explaining the situation and why you would like to enroll the child, and please state how much of the tuition your family can afford to pay, e.g. one-half, one-fourth, or none. Requests for scholarship will not be considered if the family is excluding any children between 4 to 9 years.
 
Class Size
There are minimum and maximum class sizes. Timely registration is highly  recommended.
 
Previews
Previewing a class before registering is permissible, but waiting for the quarter or year to start might result in the preferred class time filling and not being available.
 
Parent Observation
Please use the waiting room if the parent wishes to wait during a class that children attend without parents. The children really do better without parents watching.
 
Siblings in Class
Baby Time - no older siblings please.
Together Time - younger sibling OK until of crawling age. Older siblings OK only in rare one-time-only type of circumstances.
Play Time and Young Musician - siblings OK during parent participation time.
 
Parent Education
Parents are expected to attend a curriculum night some time during the year.
