Child Participation Expectations: Children are expected to participate and stay with his/her class and follow the direction of the coach. Coaches will ask a disruptive child to sit and observe the class until he/she is ready to participate and follow the direction of the coach. If a child complies, a coach will keep it positive and not draw attention to the issue. If a child is unwilling to comply, is unwilling to participate and/or is potentially harmful to self or others, a parent must return to Rumble Tumble immediately to address the needs of the child. A parent or caretaker must stay on site until child, parent and coach agree the child is able to participate and stay with his/her class and follow the direction of the coach. Rumble Tumble reserves the right to terminate enrollment when it is believed to jeopardize the well being of other children or the goals and expectations of our gym.

Those without current class registration pay the class rate + $3. Siblings or friends who are not in a class MAY NOT play or tumble during our instruction time. Those waiting in the gym must wait in the lounge chairs or may color in the party room as it is available with parental supervision only. All children under age 3 must have a parent on site.

Early & Extended Care: Early and/or extended care is offered, as available, at the rate of $8 per hour or $3.00 per quarter hour. Parents may not leave the building until the class scheduled start time. Those wanting a consistent early drop-off may add payment to the cost of tuition (15 minutes = $20 / 15-30 minutes = $30). Parents who leave before the start time will be required to sign in and must make payment to coach on duty. If a child is not picked up on time, please sign out your child and the extended care rate will be charged with a quarter hour minimum.
