Registration opens on a quarterly basis in December, March, May, and September.

What forms of payment are accepted?  


Full payment is due at the time of registration

  • Online or Phone: Visa or Mastercard
  • In-person: cash, check, VISA or Mastercard

What if the class I want is full?


Don’t be discouraged! We make every effort to add classes to accommodate waitlists, so be sure you register for the waitlist at no fee. If we are able to add you to a class, we will call you to register and collect payment. 

May I register for other people?


You may register anyone on your household account. 

May I enroll a child that is almost the correct age for a class?


Many classes are designed for certain ages to ensure the best experience for all class participants. Online registration does not allow you to register if the child does not meet the age requirements, but if your child is within one month of the designated age by the first day of class, you may call to register for some programs.
