Payment & Tuition

Monthly tuition is based on entire session cost (accounting for holidays and closings) divided into equal monthly payments (NOT based on the number of weeks/classes per month). Invoices will not be sent- statements for delinquent accounts only will be sent. A Welcome Newsletter will be emailed to you after registration has been received. Tuition is due the 1st of each month.  A late fee will be assessed after the 10th.  Amount of late fee can vary, depending on the franchisee that operates the location your child attends, and generally ranges from $10-$15. DO NOT LEAVE PAYMENTS AT THE SCHOOL! – INSTRUCTORS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCEPT PAYMENTS.€“ Payments may be made the following ways:

Holidays

CMD follows the same closings as the county in which your child’€™s class is located for Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break ONLY.  We do not cancel for Teacher Workdays, except in cases where they fall at the end of the above holidays. There is no reduction in tuition for months with holidays or breaks.  Private schools and church programs often differ.  At these locations we follow their closings.  If the location is closed (not open to CMD) we will not be present to conduct classes (ex: Labor Day).  During Summer, CMD does not hold classes on the 4th of July.

Inclement Weather

CMD follows the same cancellations for inclement weather as the county which your child’€™s school is located.  One class cancelled without a makeup is factored in to your tuition.  For a second cancellation, classes will be made up within 30 days of the cancellation. Due to space/time limitations at some locations, we may add time to the next few classes in lieu of a makeup day. The make-up day and time will be posted at on-site locations and notices will be emailed to parents.

Teacher Workdays

County schools have several teacher workdays scheduled which CMD does not observe.  CMD will hold classes as scheduled on these days.  As detailed in your Registration Brochure, CMD follows the same holiday closings as the county in which your child’€™s school is located for Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break only.  We do not observe Teacher Workdays, except in cases when they fall at the end of the above holidays. If the location is open during teacher workdays and other holidays, CMD will hold classes (ex: Presidents Day and MLK Day).  Private schools and church enrichment programs may differ.  At these schools, we follow their closings.

Recitals

In May, parents are invited to the recital held at your child’€™s school.  There is no recital fee or costume fee.  The recital lasts about 30 minutes, and every child participates.  Costumes are provided by CMD, and must be returned immediately after the performance.  CMD will arrange for a photographer at most locations, who will offer packages to parents.  All transactions will be between parents and the photographer.  CMD assumes no responsibility for the delivery or quality of the photographs.  Notification of which sites will have a photographer will be sent to you, and posted on the website, along with the recital schedule, on March 31st.  Recitals are not included for summer sessions.

Potty Trained

While we often make exceptions for age, being potty trained to attend class is required for all classes except Mother Goose (toddlers).  Our instructors will not be permitted to change diapers or pull-ups, and cannot interrupt class for bathroom breaks.

Parent Observers

We cordially invite and encourage parents to observe class at any time, and thank all that have visited our classes.  However, to minimize distractions, we request occasional, rather than weekly visits.  Because each location’s policies may vary, you must check with the school or church to ensure they will allow you.
