- Policy Last Updated: 9/19/2024
Behavior & Destruction of Property Policy
If your child displays violence or excessive disrespect towards staff and/or students and is creating an unsafe environment for themselves or others, they may be asked to leave the studio. Bullying is considered an unsafe behavior at Engage and repeated offenses will not be tolerated. Students who are unable to abide by these rules may be asked to leave the studio. Intentional and malicious destruction of the studio and/or other's property will also result in your child being removed from the studio. All damage/repair costs are the responsibility of a parent/guardian.
Payment for the session of class will not be refunded.
* By purchasing a space in class, you agree to all terms, conditions, and policies regarding your child's enrollment in class. *
After your confirmation email is received, payment will be due. If you decide to continue classes into the next month, then the student becomes a "recurring student". Payment for recurring students is due by the 20th of each month in order to ensure that their space in class is reserved for the upcoming month (ex. Payment due on Feb 20th secures your child's space for March classes). An email will be sent on the 15th of each month as a reminder that payment is due for the upcoming month if your student will be continuing class.
No. We ensure each student never repeats a project.
We can offer a trial class in most of our classes! Email us for more details (register@engagearts.com)
We offer a small seating area for a few parents to sit. If our waiting room is full, shop our Gallery, head to Moccias for a bite, enjoy Foy Park, or walk the Perkiomen Trail! Parents are not allowed in the classroom once instruction has begun unless the child requires an accommodation previously discussed with Engage. We ask that if siblings are present, parents ensure they clean up any toys and keep volume to a minimum, as the sound carries from the waiting room.
For the safety of our students, parents are strictly prohibited from consuming alcholic beverages/mind altering substances at Engage.
Since we have a rolling enrollment, we do not always know when space will become available in a waitlisted class. We will try our best to get you off the waitlist for the upcoming month. An email confirmation will be sent around the third week of the month if space becomes available!
At this time, we do not offer private lessons.
