•Basic first aid is available to every student. Due to government regulations we are unable to provide anyone with Panadol or equivalent medication.
•In the event of an emergency – illness or accident, where you (or emergency contact) cannot be contacted, you give the staff of Alanna's Theatre and Dance Studio and babyballet® Hampton permission to refer your child to a Doctor, Ambulance or Hospital.
Drop off/Pick up
•Parents/guardians are responsible for drop off and pick up for their child/children from all classes.
•Alanna’s Theatre and Dance Studio and babyballet® Hampton is not responsible for students going between classes or for students who have a break between classes.
Viewing (babyballet®)
•You will need to stay with your babyballet® star in the Tinies class until they turn 3 and participation is encouraged by the grown-up. Once they reach 3, it is advised that the grown-up leaves the child in the class so that the child starts to develop independent learning. You are more than welcome to stay in the waiting area as there can be a little bit of a ‘weening’ period. (Each child/situation can be different, so if you feel that your child may struggle without the grown-up in the room then please talk to me and we can work something out).
Viewing (ATADS)
•Parents/carers are welcome to view the first trial lesson but are not permitted to view the class each week. Having parents/carers/family members/other siblings in the room can be quite distracting and children can feel quite vulnerable having extra eyes on them when they are trying new exercises. Students tend to concentrate better on their class work and look forward to showing their parents/carers what they have learnt at the viewing class at the end of the term and annual concert. You are invited to attend the class on the last lesson in term 1 and 2 and of course the annual concert to see your child’s progress.
