Specifics
Gymnastics, Karate, and Dance are
year-round activities with only two sessions - a School Session
(August 16, 2010-June 4, 2011) and a Summer
Session (June 13-August 6, 2011). At every fall registration,
we require a new registration form be filled out. Once you register,
you don’t have to re-register until the summer. Instead of paying
tuition for the entire year, we use a convenient 4-week Auto-Pay
System. We apply your charges to your debit or credit card the first
of every month. If you choose to un-enroll, please let us know as
soon as possible to avoid your card getting charged. There
is a $10 refund processing fee for all refunds.
Second
Class and Family Discount!!!
At All-American, only the most expensive tuition
in your immediate
family pays full price. All lesser tuitions from your immediate
family are discounted 15%
for the second and third class and 25% off for the fourth and fifth
classes. At a certain point we do offer a price for an
unlimited amount of classes - inquire in the office for that
pricing.
No other local dance or gym school gives this large of a
family discount.
We LOVE families and want all the kids to be able to attend
their favorite classes at Patti’s All-American.
Because our Gym-N-Learn Educational Preschool and The Swim Connection
are separate schools, there is no discount given for those classes.
100%
Tuition-Back Guarantee
If
you are not entirely
happy with our programs we will happily refund 100% of your unused tuition
or apply it as credit toward another program. A one-month
notice is necessary for refunds if you choose not to return to
class. A $10 refund processing fee will be charged if tuition
has been paid.
Q & A
Q:
How do we pay tuition? (New
Payment Policy)
A: Gymnastics, Karate, and Dance are
year-round activities with only two sessions - a School Session
(August 16, 2010-June 4, 2011) and a Summer
Session (June 13-August 6, 2011). At every fall registration,
we require a new registration form be filled out. Once you register,
you don’t have to re-register until the summer. Instead of paying
tuition for the entire year, we use a convenient 4-week Auto-Pay

of every month. If you choose to un-enroll, please let us know as
soon as possible to avoid your card getting charged. There
is a $10 refund processing fee for all refunds. If you choose to un-enroll,
please give us one month notice, so we don't charge your credit card
inadvertently.
Monthly Auto-Pay
Program -
For your convenience we bill your Visa/MasterCard or Debit monthly thereby
ensuring your child’s class status until you notify us otherwise.
Just think, no more figuring out WHEN tuition is due! For your
protection, your credit
card number once entered is not visible to anyone.
Annual Registration Fee- Every family pays this
$39.00 fee
upon initial registration and on your anniversary date thereafter.
Family
Discount- We offer a generous discount for multiple
classes for one child and multiple students from one family.
We charge the same discount for either. Our discounts
are: first class in family (the highest tuition) is full
price, second and third classes 15%off, and the fourth and fifth
classes 25% off. At a certain point we do offer a price for an
unlimited amount of classes - inquire in the office for that
pricing.

Q: Do you offer make-ups?
A:
Tuition pays for your
child's spot in the class. However, as a courtesy, Patti's
All-American offers one make-up per month, to be made up within four
weeks of the missed class. The make-up class must be of the same age
and ability level when and where it does not interrupt the safety
or the quality of class for those children registered in the
class. We do not refund or give credit for missing a class. You
must call the gym prior to the missed class to qualify for a
make-up. The student must be currently enrolled in class at the
time of the scheduled appointment. Once made, it cannot be
rescheduled. All hour and half and two hour classes if missed—will
be entitled to just one hour make-up. If your child's class falls on
a holiday when the gym is closed, such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving,
Memorial Day, Mother’s Day, or 4th of July, it is your
responsibility to schedule your make-up. To schedule a make-up, call
our office at (219) 865-2274 or stop by the customer service
desk.
Q: What should my child wear to class?
A: Please
make sure your child is properly dressed for class. In gymnastics
classes, we recommend girls wear a body leotard (without an attached
skirt) and the required gymnastics shoes. Shorts are allowed, but no
tights. We recommend boys wear a T-shirt tucked into stretch pants
or elastic waist shorts, and the required gymnastics shoes. Students
are required to wear gymnastic shoes. We sell them for your
convenience here at the gym. They are for safety and hygienic
reasons. Once your child has reached the advanced/elite level of
gymnastics or tumbling, we require them to wear advanced gymnastics
shoes. Students should not wear clothes with any buckles, belts, or
zippers. We focus on safety and cleanliness at Patti’s
All-American. For numerous safety reasons we cannot allow high ear
piercing, exposed belly button rings, eyebrow rings, or any jewelry.
Hair should be pulled away from the face into a ponytail with an
elastic band. We do not allow hair clips, barrettes, or other hair
accessories nor hair glitter, gel, spray-on hair color, or
excessively oily hair products. Again, this is for your child’s
safety. These products tend to get on the mats when tumbling and
could cause someone to slip and fall. Hair products also hinder the
maintenance of our mats and keeping them clean. Each dance class has
its own attire requirements.
Q: Why
does Patti's All-American refund tuition after our first 30
days if we're not pleased?
A: The real value in our programs can only be measured over the long
run. However, children learn on their own schedule and we know that
if a child is not ready for a particular program now, given time, he
is likely to want to try again at some future date. We also know
that you will be less hesitant to give it another try if you feel
you have not wasted your money the first time.
There
is a $10 refund processing fee for all refunds after 30 days.
Q: Can I stay and watch my child in
class?
A:
Of course you can, we love
our parents to stay! You’re welcome to observe your child in our
glassed-in lobby. The upstairs observation area, when not being used
by our Gym-N-Learn classes, includes tables & chairs, crayons,
and coloring books for siblings. Gym-N-Learn classes are held
Monday-Friday 8:30AM-3:00PM. We request that parents do not yell
down to the children during class. This is for safety and to avoid
embarrassing both the parent and the child. If you have any concerns
about your child’s class, please talk to your child’s teacher or
a staff person.
**During our Gym-N-Learn classes, the upstairs
observation area is closed. Classes are held Monday through Friday
8:30 a.m.-3:00 pm.
