  • Younger siblings often tag along for the older one's activities. That's life. Families who have registered one child for a full season can bring a sibling up to 9-months-old for free!

    Once the little one has reached 9 months, they need to be enrolled.

    If 2 siblings are registered for the same class, there is a 20% discount for the second child.

  • Please email me to schedule a makeup - info@daradoodle.com.

    You have one allotted makeup class within the season for which you registered. Makeups do not roll over into the next season unless otherwise specified.

  • If you are not enjoying the class after 2 sessions and wish to cancel, you will be refunded the balance of your season registration. No hard feelings!

  • Shakers and toys often end up in little ones’ mouths, so hard or plastic props are all washed in hot soapy water. Jingle bells are sanitized using a toxin-free electrolyzed solution of water, salt and vinegar that kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses: https://www.forceofnatureclean.com/

    Scarves that go into mouths will be taken out of rotation immediately for washing, and the rest are laundered on a bi-weekly basis.
