Specifics
Gymnastics, Karate, and Dance
are year round activities with only two sessions. You only need to
register for the school session, August 24, 2009 -June 19, 2010 and
the summer session June 21, 2010 -August 21, 2010. Instead of paying
tuition all at once, we have convenient 8-week pay periods. We have you pay in advance for the eight weeks. This ensures
at all times, we
know the number of students in class and can allow new students to join if you discontinue class.
Every family is required to keep a credit or debit card. Every
eight weeks, tuition statements will be given to you on Week #5 and
you have until Week #7 to pay be check, cash, credit, or debit
card. If payment is not paid by the end of Week #7, tuition
and any other fees or balances on your account such as: annual
registration fee, special events, or merchandise will be charged
on your credit or debit card we have on file. All families
who wish to pay every four weeks are required to use our Monthly
Auto-Pay Program (credit/debit card). If you wish to pay by cash or check, the entire
eight-week tuition and any other fees or balances must be paid in full.
If you pay for the school
session - (August 24, 2009 through June 19, 2010) in full you get a
3% discount. If you choose to un-enroll,
please give us two weeks notice, so we don't charge your credit card
inadvertently.
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.

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! Your credit
card number once entered is not visible to anyone.
Annual Registration Fee- Every family pays this $38.00 fee
upon initial registration and on your anniversary date thereafter.
This fee entitles your child to the liberal 15% discount on all classes at
Patti’s -except Gym-N-Learn Educational Preschool, the Swim
Connection and special events.
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.
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.
