- After scheduling a free trial through Acuity, you must create a Daysmart account for you and your child, and sign a waiver for you and your child.
- Day of drop-in free trials are not ensured a spot to participate. We will not make an exception to go over class ratio. It does not matter whether all the children in a full class show or not, they have ensured their spot with payment.
- After one free trial, you must pay for the remaining classes in the season to participate again.
- For those enrolling after the first week of the session, the price will be prorated so you will only be paying for the remaining classes in the session.
