2009-10 ACADEMIC YEAR
All parents and their children are expected to adhere to the following policies:
ENROLLMENT. The academic year at Isabella & Ferdinand is divided into
3 sessions: Fall, Winter & Spring. (There is a separate Summer session as well.) Enroll your child for the full school year or an individual session. Please register for classes by downloading the Registration Form. Please complete a separate form for each child you are registering.
PERSONAL PROPERTY. Parents assume all liability for loss or damage to their stroller or other personal items they bring to Isabella & Ferdinand’s premises. Strollers must be parked in the space designated. Isabella & Ferdinand assumes no responsibility for any stroller left on its premises.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS. Parents of children who require any type of special medical care are advised that Isabella & Ferdinand staff will not administer medical treatment. Isabella & Ferdinand requires that a parent or caregiver of any child requiring special medical attention stay outside the classroom in the event that a prescribed drug or other treatment may be necessary. Please make sure to indicate if your child has any allergies on the registration form.
MAKE-UP CLASSES. We are happy to schedule one make-up class in an age-appropriate scheduled class, subject to availability. Please see the classes section for a make-up schedule for classes that occur during holidays.
VISITORS. Isabella & Ferdinand’s learning environments are intended to be small and focused. Baby Barcelona™ and Olé and Play™ classes, which requires children to be accompanied by an adult or caregiver, admit one adult per child. Infants, siblings or guests not enrolled in the classes will not be not admitted.
BABY BARCELONA AND OLE AND PLAY CLASSES AND CAREGIVERS. Baby Barcelona™ and Olé and Play™ classes incorporate game-based interaction, and includes both moving and stationary activities. To maximize educational value, caregivers should guide and encourage their child to participate.

We will confirm classes and communicate about enrollments, cancellations, scheduling, calendar changes, session dates, and programs via e-mail from info@isabellaandferdinand.com.
