Due to the overwhelming success of our programs and the number of children that are put on waiting lists we have implemented the following policy: Refund requests must be made 72 hours prior to start of class, program or activity, and provided the request does not drop the enrollment below the required minimum, after that there are no refunds. Failure to attend a registered class, program or activity will be considered a forfeiture of materials supplied and all money paid.

Please Note... Classes/programs are canceled if the Copley-Fairlawn schools are closed due to weather
