FAQ
Are there make up classes for missed classes?
Unfortuanelty, at this time we do not do rescheduling for missed classes. Dates of the classes are given up front and upon checkout for future planning.
Am I able to stay for class?
At this time, we do ask that parents drop off / pick up their child, unless it is a parent + me workshop.
Drop off / Pick Up Q’s
We open our door 10 minutes prior to start class time so students can get checked in and washed hands prior to start time.
Every class we will have a review of what your child will be learning on the board. They will be checked in and off to wash hands and put their apron on and get ready for class.
We love our neighbors! Please be respectful while driving as this is a residential area with friendly neighbors and tons of kids walking or biking to/from home all day. If you are running late— please do not speed. Just call/text me and we will accommodate.
We ask that you do your best in trying to find parking in front of our home and not using other neighbors parking, however we get things fill up during pick up /drop off so we just ask you are respectful to our neighbors.
What if my child has allergies?
Please let us know if your child has allergies especially nut allergies or any significant allergies that may cause an emergency flare up. (bee stings, bug bites, nuts etc) We will do our best to accommodate and be sure your child is safe.
What if my child is 3 or 4 and ready for a Kinder class?
We always say parent knows best, every student learns at their own pace. If you think your child is ready feel free to register them accordingly. If there is an issue a teacher will email you to make the proper adjustments. We tailor every class to their specific needs. Any questions please feel free to email us at here.
What if we want to join a class that is already in session?
At this time you’re able to purchase drop in classes! Find the link here.
What if my child is sick?
If your child is sick please do your best to keep them home until they are feeling better. We get kids get bugs however we ask that any dripping, runny nose, or consistent sneezing stay home out of respect to other families. Please reach out if you have a doctor’s note.
Do you accept charter funds?
Yes! We are more than happy to be an approved vendor for your child’s charter school. At this time we are an approved vendor for Cabrillo Point Academy, Blue Ridge Academy, Suncoast Prep, Peak Prep. If you do not see your school listed, please submit a request through your educational facilitator.
For Zoom classes do you provide the food?
For our zoom classes we send out a list of ingredients you will need to purchase for your student to follow along in class, as well as any tools necessary.
Does my student get to bring home what they make?
Absolutely! Almost every class takes home their portion of their creation as well as hand outs on occasions. If we are short on time, I do text and email the families of the students to come pick up their item at a later time. We encourage the kids to wait until pick up to eat their creation—however, as we know, children don’t always practice their patience.
Why are classes only 6 students maximum?
We like to keep classes smaller to maintain safety and to be sure every child is getting the attention and assistance they deserve.
What are the safety protocols?
I am always CPR/AED/First Aid Certified. I am also LiveScan & background checked for your child’s safety. Although all classes are not open fire classes, we have fire extinguishers present always. We also have a LifeVac present at all times. However, since we are cooking burns/cuts are always possible.
What if my child is not potty trained?
Please be sure to apply a fresh diaper prior to drop off. Toddler classes are 1 hour only and should be okay with no diaper changes needed. If a diaper change is needed we will call / text guardians for procedures. Rarely does this happen.
What does my student need to bring?
We ask that your student be dropped off with a water bottle or hydro and a light snack. Most of our classes get a wiggle break in between their lessons, where kids socialize and eat their snack before we regroup to end our lesson for the day. A small tote bag will work perfect for this.
What if I wanted to sign my child up for private lessons on a different day?
We are able to accommodate private in-person & online lessons for your child. Please email me here and we can come to a date/time that works best.
Are the kids allowed to play while I pick them up?
Please know that I leave a 10 minute pick up window after class as I have back to back classes running and have to prep for. Each minute after 10 minutes will be 1$ per minute charge. Please text / call me if there is an emergency or if you know you will be running late.
Why are parents not allowed to stay?
For the safety of all children, we allow only those who have been background checked through LiveScan to stay and help. In addition, we find that little ones tend to listen and follow directions clearly without the presence of their parent. As they are given a sense of independence and trust, but are being guided by the teacher.
