• Can I stay in the classroom with my child?

No, adults and students do not attend together for this program.

Your child's teacher is experienced, and loves nothing more than caring for each individual child in their classroom. On consideration of the needs of all the children in the workshop, we require that adults wait outside the classroom teaching space during the workshop.

Sometimes it may be necessary for an carer to remain in the classroom for a time if a child is anxious about the new setting. This is completely understandable. If this happens our teachers will permit an adult to stay for a short period while a child is settled into the class, however any adults in the classroom will need to remain in the designated adult space for a short period. This will be outside the main teaching space, at the rear of the classroom.

Grown ups are welcome to wait on the premises in one of our lovely lounge rooms. We have a small selection puzzles and toys for little ones to play with, work desks with charging points if required, and a big backyard area to wait in.

Adults are not permitted into the teaching space while a workshop is in progress.

Carers are also welcome to leave the premises after the children have started their workshops. If a carer does leave the premises, they are expected to be contactable by phone, and return to our studio at least 5 minutes before the scheduled finish time for the workshop. Carers running late must contact Flying Fox Studios staff to notify them before the workshop has concluded.

• Do you offer supervision between workshops?

No, we do not offer supervision of children between sessions. All children are required to be supervised by their adult while using our waiting areas before, during, and after a class. When arriving on our premises, students will need to be signed into their workshop. They must then be supervised by their adult until their workshop is called, and they enter a classroom. Although our teachers will call a workshop start in all our waiting spaces, it is the responsibility of the supervising adult to make sure children are brought to their classroom at the scheduled start time. Children are not permitted in any of our waiting areas without adult supervision.

• My plans have changed, can I get a refund or credit?

We get it, plans change! For this reason Flying Fox Studios offers a workshop credit for any cancelled booking that has been requested with 7 or more days notice. For cancellations less than 7 days before the scheduled workshop, a credit will only be given if we have been able to re-book your spot at short notice. Refunds are available for extenuating circumstances only. For events outside the control of Flying Fox Studios (such as workshop cancellation due to teacher illness) a credit will be given for a future class.

• Can I change to a different workshop?

If you would like to change to a workshop during the same week then simply phone us and we will transfer your booking. Workshops are very popular so any transfer is subject to availability. Workshop transfers must be within the same scheduled week, and cannot be held in credit until a future workshop period.

• My child is outside the age range listed on the workshop , can they still come along?

Our booking system offers a 4 week age grace period for students close to the minimum and maximum age range for each class. For example if you child turns 4 the week following the workshop you will be able to register them. If your child is outside this grace period then they not be able to register for the class. Our age recommendations are set by experienced teachers and are designed with workshop content, length, and skills required in mind.

Flying Fox Studios offers the same age based enrolment policy across all programs, for students of all abilities. Every class we run has students with a wide range of abilities, our studio offers classes grouped by age. Our experienced educators will differentiate the content within a class for students will different abilities, however all students need to be within the set age limit for the class.
