Class Information & Location            

NO CLASSES ARE TAKING PLACE AT THIS TIME.  BELOW IS THE INFORMATION FROM THE SUMMER 2012 SESSION:


Zumbatomic is a modified form of regular Zumba for children ages 4-12.  This class not only allows children to be active and exercise, but it also teaches children:

 - listening skills,

 - respect for others and themselves,

 - the principles of dedication and persistence,

 - teamwork skills, and

 - the idea that fitness can be FUN!

Additionally, Zumbatomic helps to build a child's self-esteem in a safe, friendly environment.


ALL CLASSES will be held at 

The Columbus Grange: 

88 Atlantic Ave. Columbus, NJ, 08022

Class Rules

 

 - Respect the instructor, your classmates, AND yourself


 - Work together with your Zumbatomic classmates


 - Keep your hands and feet to yourself


 - ALWAYS try your best


 - Use only KIND words


 - Ask the teacher to use the bathroom or get a drink


IMPORTANT: My goal is to make Zumbatomic classes fun and stress free for my participants.  Any child participating in an act of bullying during my class or any child that refuses to follow my rules will be given a fair warning.  If a particular participant continues to engage in defiant behavior or any type of bullying/intimidation towards other participants after a fair warning, I will talk to the guardians of the student.  If the behavior continues, and does not improve, the student will be asked to leave summer Zumbatomic and all deposits are non-refundable.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up


Parents/guardians must come in the building when dropping off and picking up their children. 

I am not responsible for children unattended outside of the Grange, in the parking lot, or in the foyer before class starts.

When registering your child for Zumbatomic, you will be required to provide the names and information of anyone that is allowed to pick up your child after class.  Anyone that is NOT on the list you provided will NOT be allowed to take your child at the end of class.  I will contact the telephone number provided on the registration form to receive verbal confirmation from the guardian who completed the form if this situation arises.  If during the summer session you decide that you would like someone to pick up your child who is NOT on the original list you provided, please send it a SIGNED note permitting the particular person to take your child at the end of class.  On the signed note, you will also need to include the answer to the security question you answered on the registration form so I can be sure the note is coming from the original guardian(s) who signed the child up for Zumbatomic.
