                              A. Dropping off…..Warm up is an essential part of any physical activity. The beginning of each class is devoted exclusively to warm up. This includes flexibility & stretching exercises along with student – teacher socialization. We like for you to be on time but please do not drop off your child any earlier than 10 minutes before their scheduled class. There is not enough staff to watch children being dropped off.

                              Picking up…. We prefer that you come into the building to pick up your child. It presents a safety issue when we do not see the child leave with a parent or designated person. For the child’s safety, we do not allow them to wait outside to be picked up.
