Frequently Asked Questions
-
We recommend registering for the program that matches your child’s age group. During your first class, you and your instructor will be able to see whether another group may be a better fit. If so, we’ll help transition your family to another group!
-
A child can change age groups at any time during the year as long as there is space in the next class up. If the next class has no space, your child can stay in their current class and will continue to learn new concepts until there is a new open class!
-
The short answer: No! The long answer: this curriculum is uniquely designed to be accessible and relatable to every family, whether your child has never tried to dance before or loves to sing but has no rhythm. Music is just another form of creativity and expression that anyone can participate in! We use every-day sounds and movements to introduce new concepts.
-
The parent-child relationship is a critical part of your child’s development, so our curriculum is built with this in mind. Parent attendance is required for ages 0-4, and each class can accommodate one parent per child. For ages 4 and up, the Pandas class is drop-off only.
-
For the best experience, we recommend that the same parent/caregiver attend the class each week. It’s beneficial for everyone when the parents and children get to know each other as they come regularly; it builds community and makes the children feel more secure. Your child may behave differently with a different caregiver, which is completely normal. If a different caregiver needs to come on occasion, be sure to fill them in on the other adults and children, and what you’ve been learning in the class!
-
The Musical Safari is a different program. We were a certified Kindermusik studio for over three decades, but due to the high cost to families and the content becoming less engaging, we decided to create and teach our own program. We want families to have a more enjoyable and cost-effective experience. The instructors who teach the classes and helped create the Musical Safari all hold Kindermusik certification, and have many years of experience with the Kindermusik curricula. Some have even owned their own Kindermusik studios abroad. In short — you’re in good hands!
-
It’s up to you! When you register, you have the option to pay monthly OR pay upfront for the entire program (September to June). The one-time annual price includes a hefty discount!
-
You may withdraw with two weeks’ notice to cancel your attendance and billing, however annual payments are non-refundable. You can read our full Terms & Conditions during registration.
-
Of course! Whether you’re looking to start with your child as soon as they are one-month-old, or you know you want to wait until they are three or four months old, you can join when it makes sense for your family. The program is designed with multiple four-week themes, so when you register, you can sign up to join in at the beginning of the next four-week theme.
