Class Policies

Health Policies updated 10/1/2022

  • Instructor is fully vaccinated (plus booster) & unmasked.

  • Masking is now optional in all classes

  • Indoor class only- Because this class is for babies who aren’t old enough to have all of their shots, we ask that attending adults be up-to-date on all recommended vaccinations centered around infant protection: Influenza (yearly), Tdap, MMR, VAR, and COVID-19.

  • Please do not bring your child to class if either of you are sick (sneezing, coughing, fever, rash, loss of sense taste/ smell)

Clealiness

  • Shared toys- Starting 11/2022 will again be providing some cleanable shared toys in class, providing plain alcohol santizing wipes to clean them after playtime. We prefer to do this cleaning during class so parents know for sure they get cleaned.

  • Please lay young babies still prone to spit-ups on clean towel or baby blanket

  • No food or drinks inside carpeted area.

  • Please use our restroom changing table & provided covered diaper pail. No diapers in uncovered trash cans please.

Refunds & Makeups

  • Refund Policy- Classes are small, and once you register, your spot is reserved specially for you, making it unavailable to anyone else. There are no refunds for cancellations requested less than 24 hours before start of first class. No refunds or credits offered towards future sessions for reasons beyond instructor control, such as student illness, travel, or changing naptimes.

  • Weather cancellation (outdoor): If possible we will make-up indoors, one adult per baby. Otherwise, watch video.

  • Illness/ Travel/ Naptime Change: No guarantee of in person makeup, but we’ll try— text or email Monta 619-987-4834 monta@babysignlanguage.net. Otherwise, please watch the recorded lesson (included) at your convenience.

Contingencies- In case of cancellation due to natural disaster, govenment mandate or instructor illness, class will meet online.
OUTDOOR ONLY: If Park & Rec forces us out for any reason, class will move indoors, with on adult per child rule.

Siblings- OUTDOOR ONLY Siblings over age 3 may be brought to class free of charge if they can participate or play nearby independently. Due to reduced capacity, we currently can’t accomodate unregistered siblings at indoor class.

NOTE ON DROP-IN CLASSES-
Classes are only opened to drop-in once the new session has fully enrolled, so there are never drop-ins the first week.
Only full sessions (at least 5 weeks) include the book and video series to share with other family members.
This is a series class with a lot to learn. If more flexibilty is desired its strongly recommended to enroll in entire series and watch online the days you can’t attend in person, or simply enroll in the online-only version of the class.
