General Agreements:

Our goal at Engineering for Kids is to provide the most enjoyable camps and classes for kids, while keeping costs low and as affordable as possible for families. You understand that camps and classes are planned well in advance. As an incentive for enrolling early and helping us plan accordingly, we sometimes offer early bird specials or early registration discounts. To effectively manage our costs and ensure that we staff and stock supplies according to our student ratios, you agree to the following policies regarding cancellations and change requests.

Paid in Full Cancellation Policy:

You understand that by registering for a class, we are reserving a space for your child to attend the class for the specific period purchased. Installments are charged on the first of the month. You may cancel future installments at any time by notifying us via email; notification must be received before the 28th of the preceding month.

Refunds are not granted to students who are dismissed from the program for disciplinary reasons. In addition, we are unable to provide a refund if your child is ill or absent/late. If you know your child will not make it to class, please contact us to see if we can arrange a make-up opportunity.

Waitlist Policy:

Our class sizes are limited. If a specific class is full, our registration system offers a waitlist option. We recommend placing students on the waitlist; when space opens up, we will contact families on a first come first served basis.
