Every class begins with a warm-up period (10mins). This warm-up time is important and necessary for every student this will help prevent injuries. Therefore, if your child arrives late for class or misses any portion of the warm-up, he/she will not be allowed to join the class and no make-up lesson be provided.
Arrive at least 5 minutes prior to class so you can help your child get prepared for learning. Please, take them to the restroom before class.
If you are going to be more than 15 minutes late, please call-in advance. Students may not be allowed to take the class if they are late. This is for safety and left to the coach's discretion.
Remind your child to tell the instructor if they need to use the restroom or feel sick. (Parents of preschool age children please accompany your child to the restroom.)

All the staff members utilize lesson plans, but each coach has his or her own style. Please help your child adjust to a new coach if this occurs.
If your child is the only one who shows up for a regular class, the class may be shortened.
Private lessons must be paid for in advance with the front office staff. If you have scheduled a private class, we have an instructor come to Jump Start Gymnastics just for you; therefore, we need 24 hours notice of cancellation or you will be required to pay for the missed lesson.
