General Information

---

• Only ONE Caregiver should enter the studio with a participating child. Additional caregivers may wait outside and take turns observing inside. Siblings are allowed to stay with Caregivers to observe, but must be supervised for the entire class.
• Participating children under 5 require caregiver supervision for the duration of class. Caregivers will assist with social distancing and mask usage, as needed. We do allow siblings to attend classes, but they must remain with the caregiver at all times, unless enrolled in a class.
• We require caregivers of children under to 9 remain in the immediate area. Caregivers may stay inside the gym during class, use the upstairs lobby area, or visit one of the nearby shops (Target, Harris Teeter, Dunkin, Dominos and Potbelly all within .5 mile.) COMING SOON: Outdoor pergola and bench seating. 
• For children 9 and up, please notify your teacher if you plan to leave the immediate area, and confirm emergency contact information prior to class. If you plan to have another caregiver pick up, please make sure your child knows who is taking them home.
• Younger siblings may enjoy the toys and books while inside. Please put items back on the shelves after class has ended.

All instructors are CPR/First Aid certified, SafeSport trained and background checked. Many hold certifications from USA Gymnastics, National Strength and Conditioning Association, and National Academy of Sports Medicine. While all activities come with inherent risk, we train children how to listen to their bodies and asses situations before performing every task. Our coaches perform safety checks on equipment daily, provide soft landing mats, and work diligently to provide a safe environment for children to be physically active. 

MASKS: All participants, caregivers and siblings aged 2+ will be required to wear masks while indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Coaches wear masks while hands-on with children, but may remove them temporarily to give instructions or demonstrate the stations. All adult coaches are fully-vaccinated. Children over the age of 4 should be wearing their mask with minimal reminders to keep it on. If their mask does not stay over their nose, we will send the child back to their caregiver to try a new one. Please make sure to bring extras if this can be an issue for your child. 

NEW FOR WINTER 2022: One strike rule - if a Coach has to remind a child more than once to fix their mask, a new mask must be put on or the child will need to leave class for the day. 

AIR FLOW: We have installed two Coway Airmega air purifiers in the gym that recycle air at the rate of 2x/hour with industry-grade HEPA filters.
SANITATION: All participants will be asked to wash hands upon arrival, and as needed during class. We sanitize any shared equipment between classes. Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe! 

Please keep sick children home. We do not offer refunds or guarantee make-up sessions for missed classes. Exceptions may be made for participants who test positive for COVID-19 or children under 5 who are required to quarantine (documentation required.) 

If you are unable to attend class, please cancel on your Wellness Living account so that another child may attend in their place. Participants who "No Show"/fail to cancel two or more classes on Wellness Living will be removed from the class for the remainder of the session. 

Classes must meet minimum enrollment numbers in order to be held. If we do not meet class minimums, we will do our best to reschedule you for another class. Classes canceled due to low enrollment will not be deducted from your account.

We do not guarantee make-up classes due to inclement weather or instructor illness, but do our best to offer equitable solutions.

We know life happens, so families may cancel enrollment for a class through the Wellness Living account up to 48 hours prior, and reschedule during another open class time. In order to continue to offer our flexible scheduling option, cancelations less than 48 hours prior to a class are not eligible for credit or rescheduling. Exceptions may be made for participants who test positive for COVID-19 or children under 5 who are required to quarantine (documentation required.) emPOWER Kids Annual Members may cancel classes at any time without deductions. 

Please note: Classes not canceled through our online booking system are not eligible to receive credit. Coaches are not responsible for canceling or rebooking. Availability for rescheduled classes is not guaranteed, and unused Session Passes will expire at the end of the session. 

For our emPOWER kids classes for children, we offer Seasonal Sessions of 6-8 weeks. Caregivers purchase the Session Pass prior to the start date, and sign up for the entire session of classes. Children then attend the same class, at the same day and time, for the full session. Seasonal Session Passes are only valid for the dates of the session and unused passes do not carry over.
