The cost of the classes vary depending on the maximum number of students for each class, number of teachers and materials provided. Is there a discount for siblings? Yes, we do offer a discount for siblings. If two siblings attend the same class, the second sibling gets a 50% discount. If two siblings are registered for different classes, the second sibling gets a 25% discount. How do I register? We use an online registration system. You can register online by clicking here or by cutting and pasting the following website URL into your browser: http://www.thestudiodirector.com/creativegroovestudio/register.jsp?page=ClassSearch When you go to the registration page, you will see three schedules - we have two uptown locations and one downtown location. Click on the location where you would like your child(ren) to take classes with us. When you click on the class you wish to register for, you will be prompted to log into your account or to register as a new family. If you forget your login information, please send an email to Info@CreativeGrooveStudio.com and we will reset the password for you. If a class is available, it will show as green. If a class is full, it will show as red. If you try to register for a class that is full, you will receive an automated email response letting you know that you're on a waitlist for that class. You will receive an invoice from us 1-2 business days after you register. Payment is due three (3) days after receipt of the invoice. The invoice will allow you to pay online by credit card or by e-check. If you prefer to pay by check, you can mail a check payable to "Creative Groove Studio" to us at Creative Groove Studio, 1200 Park Avenue, Hoboken, NJ 07030. If you wish to pay by credit card but do not want to pay online, please call the studio at 917.922.1061 and we can process the credit card payment over the phone. How will I know that I have successfully registered for a class? If a class is full, the class listing on the schedule will be in red. If you try to register for a class that is full, you will receive an automated email to let you know that you are on a waitlist for that class. You can also log in to your account to see the classes that you have registered for. After you have registered for a class, you will receive an invoice from us within 1-2 business days confirming your registration(s) and giving you the option to pay by credit card, echeck or by mailing a check to complete your registration. Can I sample a class before registering for a session of classes? During the first week of a session, you can sample one of our registration-only classes free of charge. If your child enjoys the class, you can then register and pay for the remaining classes. After the first week of a session, there is a $20 charge to attend a class. If you then register for the remaining classes, that $20 will be deducted from the pro-rated tuition for the remaining weeks so it would become a free class. We do not offer free samples of our drop-in classes (Groovy Baby class) or Toddlers Rock. Do you offer drop-in classes where you can pay per class? We do offer drop-in classes where you can pay per class instead of registering for a full session of classes. We have an online scheduler which shows the classes with space for drop-ins. The drop-in classes we offer are: Groovy Baby Music Time - for babies (0-12 months) who love to rock 'n' drool! This class is $13/class or $125 for a 10 class pass. A second sibling in the same class pays $7. Toddlers Rock - for toddlers 1 to 3 year old who rock! This class is $20/class We have some availability for drop-ins in some of our other classes. Click the SCHEDULE NOW button for the online calendar. Can I bring a younger sibling to class and, if so, is there a charge for that sibling? If the younger sibling is younger than the age range of the class, there is no charge for that sibling to attend class with an older sibling. For example, if the older sibling is in a class for 1-3 year olds and the younger sibling is 10 months old, there is no charge for the younger sibling. As soon as the younger sibling is 1 year old, he/she will be charged for the class but with a 50% discount. For classes where there is significant parental involvement (eg, Introduction to Piano or Pintemos-Let's Paint), we ask you to use your discretion as to whether having the younger sibling with you will distract you from being able to help your older child. For the Pintemos-Let's Paint class, a younger sibling can be in the class but cannot participate in the painting and craft projects unless they are 18 months old and paying to be in the class with an older sibling. If you have any questions that are not answered above, please send an email to Info@CreativeGrooveStudio.com or call the studio at 201.243.7557. Thank you! |
