Guidelines:

Preschool Side:

Children are welcome to change their outdoor shoes into indoor shoes, slippers or  socks. 

Many activities include paint or other messy substances. Aprons are available, but clothing may get dirty so play clothes are best.

During sessions one hour or less, water cups or bottles with milk or formula are allowed. Please leave snacks for when your child is finished. 

With exception to toilet-training toddlers in the preschool mornings or prep classes, a parent or guardian is responsible for changing their child. A change table with supplies is available on site. 

In longer sessions, such as preschool mornings or specialty prep courses, a small, healthy snack is welcome. Peanut-free is best for the safety of all present and future participants. Thank you for your cooperation with this. 

Tutoring Side:

Please bring indoor shoes or slippers during inclement weather, or snowy days.

Water bottles are encouraged, but please leave snacks for after your child's session is over. For activities that include a provided snack, you may choose to send your own. Peanut-free is best for the safety of all present and future participants. Thank you for your cooperation with this. 

Screens:  with very few minor exceptions, all activities, tutoring, coaching and sessions at Pebbles & Pages are screen-free. Please encourage your child to leave all devices at home or in the car. If your child uses a communication device, please detail this in our initial intake meeting. 

 

Arrival and Departure:

Please  arrive approximately 5 minutes or less before your scheduled class or session. If you need to drop your child a little earlier, (max 10 minutes) please make sure they are able to sit quietly at a table or on the couch while other children are finishing up with their session.  They may choose to work on a puzzle, drawing or other quiet activity. 

Please arrive promptly for the end of your child's designated time. Children 14 and younger must stay inside until their parent or guardian make contact  with staff (a quick goodbye is fine). If someone other than a recorded adult is picking your child, please send a text or email to confirm this prior to class ending. 

 

Sick Policy:

Please keep your child at home when they are sick with a fever, new cough, upset stomach including vomiting and diarrhea,  really runny nose or other contagious infections. 

Minor colds can last for weeks and it is understandable that children may have mild runny noses or the odd lingering cough. Children will be encouraged to wipe their noses and wash their hands often. Hand sanitizer is also available to use. 

Payment and Cancellation Policy

Payment can be made in cash or e-transfer at the start or end of one- time classes or sessions. Square payment with tap will be set up soon!

For courses and multi-week sessions, payment for the entire period is due in the first class unless otherwise arranged. Please reach out if you would like to arrange a payment plan that works best for your budget. 

If Pebbles & Pages cancels a class for coach or instructor illness, a credit for a future class of equal value will be issued. 

If your child is ill for a one-time session, like individual tutoring, please let us know asap and you will not be charged. For scheduled multi-class sessions, like our 6 week classes, a credit will be issued to use at a make-up or future class or drop-in option.
