Refund/Credit Policy
For ALL 2024 Santa Rosa* Classes:
Payment is due with registration, including a registration fee of $20.00 per new family, which is non-refundable.
-
Due to changes in PayPal's refund policy, if you withdraw from class, there will be a $6 charge for any online refund, even if you withdraw earlier than 5 days before the session starts, please see below.
-
We sometimes must cancel a class due to low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event we cancel a class, and an alternative class cannot be found, enrollees will receive a full refund.
-
Failure to attend a program or "no shows" will not be granted a refund.
*For Healdsburg classes: Since registration is through the City of Healdsburg, we follow their refund policy, please check with them if you need to withdraw from a class. The City of Healdsburg's refund policy is here.
Below is for Santa Rosa only.
