• IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE •

1. Note that this is a drop-off group: caregivers can drop off and pick up children at the scheduled times. 
There will be opportunities for parents/caregivers to join us on occasion by invitation only.
If children have difficulty separating from caregivers,
we will work with families to make a plan for a positive and successful separation. 
If your child is a major flight risk, we'll work together to make a safety plan for your child.


2. ​Please click this link to see our Intake Paperwork Packet for information regarding our
payment policies, payment plans and refunds. This paperwork packet will need to be signed, completed
and returned on or before your child's first day of class.
If you do not have easy access to a printer, a hard copy can be provided to you with no problem.​

3. Note: if your child is not currently receiving therapy services at High 5 Speech Therapy,
a free screening with speech-language pathologist and owner, Miss Emily, may be required prior
to finalization of your child's registration to ensure this group is the right fit for your child. 
We will contact you after you submit your registration form (below) to schedule the free 15-30 minute
​screening if deemed necessary by Miss Emily.

    Please select which session(s) you are registering this child for below. You may register a child for 1, 2 or 3 monthly sessions at the discounted monthly rate, or you may sign your child up for individual classes.

    Children can attend Lunch Buddies only, or in addition to a morning/afternoon session. Children signed up for Lunch Buddies in addition to a morning or afternoon Summer Buddies session will be fully supervised from drop off until pick up.

    In order for your child to qualify for the “Current Client” rate, your child must be receiving weekly therapy services through the summer (through August 2020) at High 5 Speech Therapy to qualify for Current Client rate.

    After this form is submitted, you will be emailed an invoice for your total amount due. Full payment is due no later than 3 days after the invoice is issued unless a payment plan has been requested. In this case, the full deposit is due no later than 3 days after the invoice is issued. If payment is not received within 3 days and no arrangements have been made with Miss Emily, your child’s spot may be forfeited.

However, please note that children THRIVE with routine and maximum benefit for your child will occur if they attend group regularly and in consecutive sessions.

    If it was a friend, please tell us WHICH friend so we can thank them!
    As a speech-language pathologist, I like to be aware of any concerns you may have about your child so that I can support in whatever way possible throughout the class. I will not address your concerns in front of other parents if you would prefer to keep your concerns private.

    Enrollment policies

    Thank you for registering in Summer Buddies! Your child is going to have so much fun - while learning so much!  I am confident that you will find the highly experienced group leaders, research-driven programming and child-driven activities in Summer Buddies foundational in supporting your child’s development!
            
    In an effort to create a rich learning environment and to provide children with the best programming possible, please note the following policies:

    Refund Policy & Withdrawal Policy
    3 weeks before the first class of the month, staff is finalized and class plans begin. As such, we appreciate your understanding that there are no exceptions to the following:
    • Cancellations by High 5 Speech Therapy: A full refund will be issued if the group is cancelled (e.g. in the event the minimum number of children are not enrolled). In the event that a single class is canceled for any reason, you will be issued a prorated refund for the cost of the single group.
    • Family cancellations 3 or more weeks (21+ days) before start date: a refund (minus a 25% deposit) will be issued for Summer Buddies if notice of cancellation is received 3 or more weeks prior to the start date.
    • Family cancellations less than 3 weeks before start date (20 calendar days or less before start date): no refunds will be given and you are still responsible for the full cost of the group regardless of your child's attendance. All payments will be forfeited. If you have agreed to a payment plan, your remaining balance will still be deducted from the card we have on file for you on the 1st of the month.
    • No refunds are given for missed sessions and no makeup sessions are offered. 
    • Refunds will be made by the original payment method or check.
