Studio Policies

Health - applicable for Private Lessons and Group Classes

I firmly believe that it is my duty to create a space where families feel safe to bring their children. I teach the youngest of students - the babies who are not yet old enough to be fully vaccinated - and they depend on those who are older for herd immunity. These realities are at the forefront of my studio policies:

  • All who are attending class or lessons are required to be up to date on vaccinations, following the AAP guidelines. Only allergies to vaccines are an acceptable exemption - please contact Rachel with a doctor’s note if that is applicable to you. Absolutely no other exemptions are allowed. 

  • If you’re not feeling well, please use your best judgment to keep everyone safe and do not come to class.

  • All shared instruments are disinfected at the end of each class.

  • Full disclosure from Rachel:

    • My family and I are up to date on all vaccinations and boosters that are currently recommended by the AAP

    • I follow all health requirements for teaching in a school setting - negative TB test, bloodborne pathogen training, CPR certified​

Parental Involvement Expectations

  • Parents should be involved in all activities

  • Classes are for the parents to learn the activities/songs/etc as well as for the children’s enjoyment

  • It’s okay if your child is unresponsive during class - there’s a lot to take in! You will often find that they engage with you when you recreate the music at home

  • Children may roam during class as long as they do not interfere with other the children’s attention

  • Try not to talk to other parents during class - keep your focus on your child. There is time before or after class to chat!

  • Remember that every child develops at their own pace. Bring the music to where they are, and it’s okay if that looks different for every family in the room.
