The Basics:

Classes are made up of 8- 14 children who attend with a caregiver.  Classes are 45 minutes long and families register for classes by the semester. Each family picks a day and a class time and goes to that class once a week for the course of the semester. Each semester is based on a Music for Aardvark’s CD and that CD is included in the price of the tuition.

Makeups

Technically, families are permitted three makeup classes per 13 week semester. We want to remain flexible with our make up policies to meet the needs of the families we serve, but due to our growing numbers we ask that you PLEASE try to limit make-ups to three a semester and ALWAYS call (871-0227) or email

(info@memphisaardvarks.com) in advance to let us know that you will either be missing a class or would like to schedule a make-up. PLEASE NEVER show up unannounced to a class that is not your regularly scheduled class.

Guests

You may occasionally schedule to bring a guest with a child to class provided there is room. Adult family members and relatives are welcome.

Refunds

Tuition fee is fully refundable before the first day semester begins. Up until two weeks after the semester has begun 50% of tuition fees will be refunded for remaining unattended classes at time of cancellation. No refunds after two weeks.

Schedule

If you would like to attend a class at a time that is not on the schedule, email or call us with a request, if enough people (6 families) request a time slot that's not currently on the schedule, it's possible we could add the class to the schedule.
