Jump Start Plus Policies

Class Placement

Class placement for children pre-k & under is primarily done by age. Class placement for school age children is by age and ability. Class placement by ability is at the discretion of Jump Start Gymnastics staff.

Class Schedule

Jump Start has a rolling registration system. You may enroll and un-enroll at your convenience. Students usually attend one class one time a week. Class lengths vary based on the age and skill level of the students.

Class Cancellations

Inclement Weather

If Jump Start personnel determine it is necessary to cancel classes due to bad weather, cancellations will appear on local TV stations or their websites, our website (jumpstartfun.com) and our Facebook page. Jump Start does not guarantee make up classes for classes missed due to inclement weather.

If at any time due to weather conditions you do not feel comfortable traveling to Jump Start to attend class, please notify the office prior to missing class and you will be eligable to participate in one of our scheduled make-up Saturdays.

Holiday Breaks

Classes will not meet during scheduled holiday breaks. Please see the yearly schedule for any holiday class cancellations.

Make Up Policy

Your tuition pays for a class spot regardless of your attendance. As a courtesy, we are offering scheduled make-up days and times for missed classes. Make up days and times will be held every other month on the first Saturday for any classes missed. Parents must pre-register students for make-up days/times through your online Customer Portal on our website. When registering for the make-up you will need to indicate in the note section which missed class date that you are making up.

You must notify our front office staff (by emailing [email protected] or by calling (309) 692-5867 and leaving a voice mail) IN ADVANCE of the absence/missing class to qualify that date for our make-up Saturdays. You will schedule your make-up during the listed time of the class level you missed. If you schedule a make-up, and you fail to attend that class, you forfeit the right to a make-up for the class missed. Please honor the spirit of this privilege and use it only for illness, holidays, and emergencies. Pre-registration is required.

All students/families are required to pay a non-refundable annual registration fee of $35/student or $60/family. This fee is due at the time of registration and is reassessed annually. As long as you are actively enrolled in a program, your annual registration fee will automatically be charged with your tuition payment in the month it was initally paid.

Refund Policy

There are no refunds for class fees except in extreme circumstances. All refunds will be made at the discretion of management.

Payment Policy

Registration is ongoing throughout the year. Tuition is pro-rated based on your start date.
Participation requires that you create an online account with a credit card or bank account on file.
Tuition is auto-debited on the 25th of every month for the upcoming month. (example: tuition for March will be auto-debited on February 25th)
Tuition is auto-debited as long as you are enrolled in a program. You are considered enrolled in our program until you officially drop. (SEE DROP POLICY) You are financially responsible for tuition for all classes until you formally drop. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO UNENROLL TO STOP THE AUTO-DEBITING PROCESS.
To avoid an auto-debit to your payment form on file, simply submit your payment due using an alternative accepted payment method ON OR BEFORE THE 20th of the current month.
Should any credit card charge be declined, you have 72 hours to make a payment. If no payment is received within 72 hours, your account will be subject to a $20.00 late fee and the balance of account will be due immediately. If no payment has been received within 10 days of the original payment date, your child(ren) will be dropped from the program and you will continue to incur monthly late fees of $20.00 until the account balance is cleared.

Drop Policy

If you must discontinue participation in our program for any reason, you must call, stop by, or email [email protected] to complete a drop form through our office staff. In order to avoid future auto-payments, the drop form must be completed ON or BEFORE the 20th of the month for the following month of classes. We do not credit or refund for past missed classes. Once you fill out a drop form, your child will be dropped from the class. Your child can continue to attend all classes for which payment has already been received.

Camera Policy

Unfortunately, in today's society pictures of children sometimes get used inappropriately. Jump Start wants to do its part to protect our children. Therefore, children may not be photographed or filmed and no images of children may be posted publicly or privately without a parent's written consent in the case of minor children.

USA Gymnastics Safety guidelines prohibit the use of flash photography during gymnastics activities. Camera flashes can cause momentary blindness that could cause a fall or injury.
