School Year Registration Fees

Kidstock! Creative Theater has a $25 Family Registration Fee for School Year Classes.

School Year Refunds & Credits

Full refunds are available for any advance withdrawal with at least 24 hours’ notice before:

  • The first class
  • The event start time

 

Registration Fees & Reduced Scholarship Tuitions are nonrefundable. Registrations are transferable within a family provided there is space. No refunds are issued once a class, session, or event begins.

No refund or credit is provided for missed classes that are part of a session, whether missed due to:

  • Scheduling conflicts
  • Weather related cancellations
  • Illness or other unforeseen circumstances

 

Whenever possible, a makeup class will be made available.

Some purchases may be defined as nonrefundable in advance.

Class Policies

Review our general class policies below that apply to all Kidstock! students. 

Attendance Policy

Students registered for classes, summer programs, vacation days, or performances are expected to attend all dates. If a student needs to miss a class due to illness or another emergency, please contact our office immediately at 781-729-5543 or [email protected] to notify your teacher.

We cannot guarantee make-ups for missed classes and there are no refunds for a missed class once a session begins.

All students are asked to review the Kidstock! Code of Creativity before participating in a class, performance, or program.

Comfortable clothes and shoes that allow for freedom of movement are best for most Kidstock! classes and programs. If your student is in a performance, you will receive details of what to wear for your base costume from your director and educators. Depending on the weather, we recommend bringing a pair of sneakers if you wear boots to Kidstock!

In the case of severe weather, Kidstock! will notify families by email of any cancellations.  Kidstock! follows the no school cancellations for Winchester Public Schools.   We will post same day weather changes on our website as well. 

We are a NUT FREE zone – please read labels carefully when sending food and label any nut free spread that looks like peanut butter or any home baked good or hand packed item that looks questionable so we know it is nut free.

Please do not send in any food that has a label that says CONTAINS NUTS. 

Helpful tips:

  • Pesto usually contains pine nuts
  • Nutella contains hazelnuts

There is ample off-street parking available on our campus. Please refer to our Contact page for specific directions.

KCT Production Rehearsal Policies

Cast Members and their families, are asked to make a commitment to the rehearsal process that prioritizes being in attendance at all rehearsals.

  • Good rehearsal behavior includes a positive attitude, preparedness, respect, patience & willingness to focus.
  • We will work around conflicts shared in advance of casting – please review the dates of your cast commitment and inform us by email if you are unable to be in attendance for any rehearsal class.
  • Attendance means arriving on time and not leaving early.
  • Unexpected conflicts that arise throughout the rehearsal period – birthday parties, family gatherings, sports practices, event tickets, vacation travel, etc – for the one day we rehearse will have to be told “no”. 
  • Deadlines for being off book with lines & lyrics memorized are non-negotiable and parts will be recast if necessary.
  • Kidstock! is making a mutual commitment with families to having rehearsal just once a week. We have a wide variety of experiences that offer a more relaxed level of participation and encourage families to consider carefully how to make this commitment to a KCT Production a positive experience for their child.
