To ensure the safety of all students and to comply with California safety guidelines, we have a strict pick-up policy and we ask all families to please follow these arrival and dismissal procedures: Late Pick Up Please arrive 5 minutes early for pick-up to ensure a smooth transition when class ends; a $1 charge will apply for every minute past the end time. Our instructors will be preparing for their next classes and appreciate your understanding of our pick-up policy, and adherence to our pick-up policy. Group Classes Policies: 1.
