6. Is there a joining fee?
If you are joining us for the very first time there will be a registration fee of $250. This is a one-off joining fee and is only required per family, not per child. Once a member of Kate's Kids you will be entitled to a 10% discount off tuition for the next & all subsequent terms your child enrolls in. You can do an unlimited number of make-up classes provided they are arranged with us and done within your child's current term. And as a welcome gift your child will receive a pair of our very own egg shakers!
7. Do I need to be in the class with my child?
We require all children under the age of 3 years to be accompanied by an adult in class. If your child is over 3 we ask that an adult remain present on site in case your help is required.
8. Kindermusik programmes include "Home Materials". What are they & do I really need them?
Family involvement in a child's learning, is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy; that the parent is the child's most important teacher and the home is the most important environment for a child's learning to take place and develop. To extend learning at home, all Kindermusik curricula include the highest quality home materials including music CD's, instruments, and interactive activities.
The Home Materials are part and parcel of the Kindermusik curricula. One doesn't go without the other. The 'materials' become a part of your child's life, as they learn the tunes of the songs and dances, enjoy reading the story books and most of all doing the activities from the activity book and playing with their own percussion instrument!
9. What if my child cannot attend their class?
Please call us on 25184840 to let us know and we can help you to arrange a make-up class for the one your child will miss. We only ask that you complete your make-up classes before the end of your child's current term.
10. What should I do if the accompanying adult or child is sick?
For the health of yourself & your child and the consideration of class mates, if you or your child is sick please stay at home and get better before returning to your class. You can arrange as many make-up classes as needed, we only ask that you complete all your make-up classes within your child's current term.
