How to cancel a course

I provide leisure activities that take place at a specific time or period. Therefore, there is no right of withdrawal.

Make-up classes

Make-up classes are not an official part of my course policy. If one of the fixed class dates is not kept by customers, there is no obligation on my part to replace the class.

If you, however, miss the monthly course due to prolonged illness or unforeseen circumstances, please contact me. Making up the course in such cases is a matter of goodwill, not a binding promise.

Classes missed due to my fault (illness or unforeseen circumstances) may be rescheduled and an alternative date will be offered.

Why don’t I show children’s faces on social media?

My statement: It’s entertaining and emotionally catchy for adults to see images of children’s faces as they play or perform during a class. My priority is however to respect and protect the personal dignity of young vulnerable children. In this digital world children must have the right of protection of their privacy. Therefore, I offer a mindful, appreciative learning environment without violating children’s right to privacy. Every child deserves a space where to be just a child without “being followed” or having to pose for pictures. I don’t show and use children’s faces as a marketing tool for the social media of my early childhood education courses. Occasionally I show children while they’re playing, learning and performing but without their faces. Children must be protected!
