Register for the 2026/2027 School Year

We have started to open enrollment in April of the year prior to the school year in question as, for the past two years, families reached out to us to register up to 18 months before their child’s school year with us.

2026/2027 School Year

Registration is now open for the 2026/2027 School Year. I know that Fall 2026 seems a very long way away but, for the past two years, families have started to register as early as 18 months before their child’s classes with us would begin.

For the 2025/2026 year, almost all classes were full by September 2024.

What is the age policy?

In order to join our Get in the Groove for Preschool classes for 2 to 3 year olds, your child should turn 2 years old by December 31, 2025. For the Monday, Wednesday and Friday class for 3-4 year olds, your child should turn 3 by November 30, 2025.

Refund Policy

We will issue a full refund (minus the 3% credit card processing fee) if your plans change and you withdraw your registration before April 1, 2026. After April 1, 2026, we will only issue a refund if you are able to find another family to take your child’s spot in class. You can read the full Refund Policy below.

When you register, you are committing for the full school year. If your plans change and you want to cancel your registration before April 1st, we will issue a full refund.

If you want to cancel your registration after April 1st, we will only issue a refund if you are able to find another family to take your child’s spot in the class.

If your child attends the Fall Session but you need to withdraw him/her from the Winter and Spring sessions due to unforeseen circumstances, again we will only issue a refund if you are able to find another family to take your child’s spot in class.

We do not enroll new students for the Spring Session only so if your child has to withdraw from the program for just the Spring Session, we would not fill your child’s spot and you would not receive a refund for that session.

While we will offer the spot to families on a waitlist for the class (if there is a waitlist) and we will email our current email list to let them know a spot has opened up, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fill the spot for you.

Any refund issued will be minus the 3% credit card processing fee charged by PayPal when tuition is paid.

Does your child need to be potty trained?

Your child does not need to be potty trained in order to join the classes. However, we do ask that children wear pull-ups in class while potty training.

Immunization Requirements

We do require our students to be up-to-date with the immunizations required by the New Jersey Department of Health. Please click here for a list of the immunizations required.
