INSTALLMENTS (CLASSES & CAMPS:)
We divide your tuition by months in the session and charge the card on file either on the 1st or 15th (your choice.)
LOW ENROLLMENT:
If the class size is below 4 students, we will place your child in another class which fit's best based on age and ability at the same time frame.

CANCELLATION POLICY (CLASSES & CAMPS:)
Cancellations made 1 month before class or camp start can be credited or refunded, less the $40 registration fee. Due to staffing and waitlists any cancellations made after 1 month out (prior to start of camp) can be fully credited to your account.
SUMMER CAMP INSTALLMENTS:
After your deposit of $400. We divide your tuition by the remaining months and charge the card on file either on the 1st or 15th (your choice). Please email Lisa at benlayla523@gmail.com, to set it up.
MAKE UP CLASSES:
3 Make-up classes are available per session to any other open class appropriate for the students age. Double classes (2 hours back-to-back) are a great way to do makeups! Visit our schedule of classes and you can schedule your own makeups thru the parent portal or let us know when to expect you for a makeup (info@GymstarsBrooklyn.com) We require a minimum of 24 hours notice for a makeup please. Pickups may or may not be available for makeup depending on schedule.
CHANGE SCHEDULE / TRANSFER CLASSES:
We give families maximum flexibility while considering enrollment. We ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you want to try a different class or camp so that you child can get comfortable with the new teachers and students as early as possible and learn any choreography from the beginning if applicable!
FRIENDS IN CLASSES!
Please let us know if you would like your child to be grouped with friends - We love it! Especially if same age and level!
PRORATING LATE TUITION:
If you are registering late for the session, we will prorate the classes you've missed once we receive your registration. We simply subtract the price for the number of classes missed from your tuition.
MULTI-CLASS and SIBLING DISCOUNTS:
After the 1st tuition, all other classes are 10% off! Usually, our software will calculate this if not, we will catch it once we receive your registration. You can also let us know at info@GymstarsBrooklyn.com
SNOW DAYS AND WEATHER:
We follow the DOE for snow or storm closures - when a snow day is announced we will offer a makeup or credit for your missed class!
For our OUTDOOR CAMPS: Our policy is to hold class if temperature is 50 degrees or warmer and not raining or snowing. We usually call the camp the night before however on days where the weather is a close call we email you with a time (usually by 10am to either cancel or hold class.). We make huge efforts to contact you and assist especially if you have a school pick up or in need of childcare. info@GymstarsBrooklyn.com
HOW TO WATCH A CLASS:
Most of our classes are drop off only (We do have shows 2 times a year!) But if you would like to watch, please ask the supervisor or email us ahead at info@GymstarsBrooklyn.com. Try not to distract your child or others in class. No loud phone calls and remain seated if possible (don't stand right next to the class) Never compare your child to others as we all have various strengths and weaknesses and learn at different paces! Use only positive reinforcement (Praise!) and leave coaching to our staff please.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Please do not send your child to class with any soft toys, or personal items aside from necessities like lunch, medications and additional clothing (in a sealable plastic bag).
