Make-Ups

If a class is missed for any reason, the student is entitled to a make up lesson in a similar class. All classes missed must be made up within two weeks of the time missed and must be scheduled in advance. Please call the front desk (788.2808) schedule your make-up lesson.

Drop Class Policy

You are responsible of notifying the front desk if your child is dropping a class.  Although we bill on a month-to-month basis, we are expecting your child to continue each month unless we are notified.  Since we maintain a low student-teacher ratio and we are holding a place in the class for your child, it is important that you notify the front desk at least two weeks prior (for those who are enrolled in automatic draft) to the month you wish to drop. If you have paid the "last months tuition" up front, you must notify the front desk at least one month prior to your last month (this allows for your last month's tuition to be applied accordingly.) There are absolutely NO refunds.  If you do not notify the front desk that your child is dropping, you will continue to be billed until such notice is given, since we are holding that slot for your child.

Transfer To A New Class

If you need to transfer to another class, you MUST notify the front desk.

Illness

If your child has been sick in the past 24 hours, please do not bring him/her to the gym.  If your child has had a fever, yellow-greenish mucus from his/her nose, vomited or had diarrhea in the past 24 hours, then they need to stay away from other children.

Children must be free of fever, without the aid of medication, for a minimum of 24 hours before participation in class.  As with any children's, program keeping the children and staff healthy keeps us all happy!

Please do not bring sick siblings into the gym.  If they are home sick from school then they should not be brought into the gym, even just to observe in the lobby.

Classes

All legal guardians are required to sign the Acknowledgment of Risk and Waiver of Liability upon registration before your child can participate in classes.  This is a requirement of our insurance carrier and a means to inform you, that as with any sport or physical activity, there is a risk of injury.

Please dress your child appropriately in snug but comfortable clothing (no denim, buttons, zippers, or belts) that they can move in.  Socks may be worn but bare feet are preferred .
 

Long hair must be pulled back away from the face.  This is for the safety of your child and for ease in spotting for our instructors.

Children should not wear rings, bracelets, anklets, or dangling earrings.  If your child does so, he/she will be asked to remove the jewelry.  We are not responsible for holding or keeping these items for you child.  Also, we are not responsible if the item becomes lost or misplaced.

No gum, food, or drink is allowed in the gym.  We encourage the children to drink water and breaks are given for them to do so at the water fountain in the gym.

Parents and guests are encouraged to watch their children from the lobby.  Please don't enter the gym unless a coach asks you for your help.  If for any reason you should need your child, please ask the front desk for assistance.

We aim to keep accurate age ranges in all classes for the benefit of all our members and the way the curriculum is taught.  If your child has a birthday and you wish to move him/her to the next age-appropriate level, please contact the front desk.

If your child is enrolled in a Playful Parenting class and has siblings, we ask that you make arrangements for them prior to class.  If the sibling is young enough to be kept in a carrier seat and will not be mobile in the class, we can allow the sibling in class.  If it's and older sibling, he/she will have to wait in the lobby.  Our staff is very busy and cannot be responsible for children waiting in the lobby, therefore please be certain that the child acts in a responsible manner if left in the lobby.

For the safety of all the gymnasts, please do not use flash photography at any time.  Special arrangements can be made with the instructors for pictures.

Responsibilities

We make every effort to monitor children after classes.  Parents need to be on-time to pick up their children.  Many children get very anxious when class is over and they don't see Mom or Dad.

Please let us know if someone else is picking up your child.

Carolina Gymnastics Center is not responsible for items left in the gym or lobby.  We maintain a lost and found box but cannot promise your item will be found.

Open Gym/Special Events

Each month various special events may be offered at the gym.  Your child will receive this information in class or you can pick up a flyer at the front desk.  These events are intended to allow students to practice skills they have learned in class or to just have fun with friends and fellow students in a supervised and safe environment. There is an extra cost to these events.
