Being registered for a Safe Sitter class means you have received an email receipt from Stripe after your payment goes through – this is typically the same day as you made the payment (usually within minutes). Then, approximately, 3-5 days prior to the class you will receive an email with more information about the class from [email protected]. (Not receiving these items means you are NOT registered for a Safe Sitter class.)
No refunds for cancellations.
Requests for changes will be accommodated when possible with a fee of $20/change requested applied.
If a child is sick and cannot attend the class, parents must email [email protected] in advance.
If a child no-shows and does not attend the class, parents will be provided with a coupon code to register for a future class at half price.
A space in the class cannot be reserved or held; a space in the class is secure once the online registration and payment have been completed.
Classes will be canceled if there is insufficient enrollment; parents will be contacted at least 1 week prior to the class date if this is the case and you will receive a full refund or the chance to switch to another class with available space. In the case of weather-related cancellations, parents are contacted as soon as possible and will receive a full refund or the chance to switch to another class with available space.

The class is open to children who are in 6th through 8th grade, or who are working at at least a 6th grade level, at the time of the class.
