SAFETY
ILLNESS PREVENTION
ILLNESS PREVENTION
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.
Class Policies
Class Cancellation Policy
Please respect our makeup policy and do not request a makeup class unless it is a qualified absence. We work hard to ensure equity among all our participants and hate to say no.
Starting March 1st we will be utilizing a Class Cancelation Request Form to process Drop-In passes.
- Makeup classes are only offered for scheduled absences, with 72+ hours notice.
- Makeups are not offered for those absent due to illness.
- Account credit will be offered for injuries with a note from a physician.
- Makeup classes must be attended within the same session that the absence occurred, and any class credits will expire on the final day of the session.
- Maximum 1 reschedule per session, per child. Space is not guaranteed for makeups, they are based on availability, within other classes during the session.
If your child's absence does not qualify for a make-up, and your child simply MUST attend a class, you are welcome to register for a Drop-In class.
Caregivers & Observing class
WELLNESS STUDIO CLASSES
- Tiny Tumblers and Turbo Tots Classes require one adult to participate in the class. Please plan to stay with your child for the ENTIRE class. As your child progresses, your coach may encourage you to give your child more independence.
- PreK Wigglers Classes: Participating children aged 3 to 5 require caregiver supervision for the duration of class. Caregivers will be asked to assist with class as/if needed. Please allow coaches to direct your child and save feedback for after class. We prefer ONE Caregiver per participating child enter the studio, to ensure adequate viewing seating.
JOYFUL MOVEMENT GYM CLASSES
- 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.) Caregivers are also welcome to use the outdoor pergola seating at the rear of the building near the Studio entrance.
- 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.
SIBLINGS
- Younger siblings may enjoy the toys and books while inside. Please put items back on the shelves after class has ended. Siblings may not play on gymnastics equipment or mats while class is occurring.
HELP US KEEP OUR GYM CLEAN
Food and drinks, other than water bottles, should be enjoyed outside. Please throw away any trash, and put all books/toys away before you leave the gym. Notify a coach if there is an area of the gym in need of cleaning!
