If we haven't had the chance to meet in person yet, I'm Stephanie Cox the owner of Children's Dance Theater. On behalf of the faculty and staff we are so glad you have chosen us for your child. CDT began in 2007 and has evolved into more than a dance studio. It is my personal mission to make sure that CDT is a place where everyone can feel like the belong. We believe in age appropriateness. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to try and work for a goal. We believe in community and that takes accountability, discipline and compassion.
As a mother of three, with my first born graduating this year, I am not planning on being in the studio teaching as much this year, though I don't think I'll ever be able to step back entirely. I'm very excited to have such a strong team of staff members who are taking on more responsibilities at the studio and I'm thrilled to mentor and empower them as leaders. I'm very excited to continue working on the big picture for the studio and finding more ways to make dance, theater, preschool and art accessible to every child.
A few house keeping things:
I know you are getting swamped with back-to-school information however don't get digital overload!
#1-You can count on 3 emails a month from us. On the first of each month, you will receive an emailed newsletter letting you know everything that is happening at the studio. This can also always be accessed on our website and we will post it in our parent portal.
#2-On either the 1st or the 15th of the month you will receive an email receipt that your automatic payment has gone through or needs attention.
#3-Statements for the next month are sent out sometime after the 25th. A few FAQ about our software, it will always say that tuition is due on the 1st of the month, however we offer a payment option of the 15th. The default payment is the 1st of the month so please be sure you have notified us if you want a 15th of the month payment. Your payment date remains the same year to year UNLESS you notify us. Another question we get a lot is if you have multiple children the software will take your families total amount and split it evenly between both children. So, if one is taking 5 classes and the other is taking 1 class, it will charge them both the same amount. The total monthly payment will be correct, it just allocates it evenly.
#4-Please sign the 23.24 policies and procedures form. Hard copies are available at the desk. We need one from every family.
#5- Engage with us on Social Media If you haven't already join our closed parent facebook group. You can follow us on social media. See the icons at the bottom of this email.
We are so excited to see your child on the first day of class. We re-open Monday September 11th! Be sure to read through this ENTIRE email. It will help you and your dancer feel prepared and confident for the new season.
