Checks are to be made out to American Martial Arts and a receipt will be given for cash only. End of year statements, for tax purposes, will be issued only upon request. Each week’s tuition is due on that Tuesday. A late fee of $25 is assessed after the due date. This price includes after school care and Taekwondo instruction. If accounts are turned over to a collection firm, extra fees will be incurred by the collection agency. This typically can add 50% to the total charge.  

A debit/credit card number will be kept on file to pay weekly tuition. 

Regular attendance is important for the overall development of your child and the optimum benefit of our program and activities. If academic school is not in session but the Martial Arts Studio is open, Kickin’ Kids After School Care are encouraged to attend regular Taekwondo classes at that time. 

Since expenses continue whether or not your child is present, there are no deductions in weekly tuition fees for absences. Please notify the office if your child is ill and will not be attending. Parents must notify our office if their child will not be attending for a particular day or being picked up early. If our studio provides transportation for your child, this information is required for the transportation vehicle attendance record. If your child is to be withdrawn from our after-school program, a 2-week notice is needed, and the account paid in full by the time of withdrawal.

Notice: Please call our office before 1:00 PM if your child will not be picked up from school that day. The office number is 501-860-7000. 

Texts after 2:30 PM and calls after 1:30 PM will be considered a no call.  After the no call, a fee of $10 will be added to your next week’s tuition. During summer please call the Center by 9:00 a.m. 

Children enrolled in our program must have the appropriate forms prepared prior to the first day of attendance. A non-refundable registration fee is due for all children. Re-enrollment is automatic as long as the child continues to attend our studio. A yearly emergency release must be filled out or updated, and a fall registration fee will be required. Registration fee is $65 per child. 

Children must adhere to established conduct rules of Kickin’ Kids After School Care in order to maintain good order and safety. We reserve the right to continue a child’s program based on adherence to established conduct rules.

Our studio may also be closed occasionally the day prior or the day following a holiday. Camps may be offered during Christmas and spring break. The studio usually closes the last week of the year. No tuition is charged. 

American Martial Arts may be hosting Thanksgiving, Christmas Holiday and Spring Break Camps. For all Kickin’ Kids After School Care students who choose not to attend these weeks, tuition will be the base fee of $90. Students participating in the Holiday camp or Spring-Break camp, may pre-enroll to hold a space. Additional fees may apply. Lunch and snacks are to be provided by the parent. The studio may, on an announced and scheduled basis, provide lunch or snacks for its students for a minimal fee (example: Pizza).  Kickin' Kids will be closed July 5th -  9th for the summer of 2021.   No tuition will be charged.

Children will only be released to those individuals whose names are recorded on the enrollment forms. Other persons not on the forms must have a written authorization signed by the parent and a verbal authorization from the parent. All persons are subject to proof of identification. If the studio has not obtained a verbal follow-up authorization from the parent, the child will not be released. Parents picking children up at the end of the day must sign them out before leaving.

Our studio must be immediately notified of changes in telephone numbers (home or work), job, family status, custody changes, medical status, doctors or authorized persons to pick up your child. 

Snacks

Our after-school program includes a short snack break in its schedule. A light snack is provided, but parents may provide additional snacks and drinks. These may be stored at the studio in the student’s locker or in the Kickin’ Kids After School Care foods storage area. Please label with their name. 

Children who become ill during the day may not remain in the studio. Parents will be called to pick up the child as soon as possible. To prevent the spread of infection, please keep your child at home when he / she has an elevated temperature, upset stomach, skin infection or serious cold. If your child has fever, please keep them home until they are fever free for at least 24 hours. Please notify the office if your child will be absent from school and our studio. All illnesses should be reported immediately. 

If your child is injured at the studio, the only treatment that is provided is cleaning with soap and water, ice, Band-Aid and TLC. Individual “accident and incident” reports are given to the parent to inform them of the injury. 

Any injury that requires more than basic treatment will necessitate a parent coming to the studio to determine if professional medical care is needed. 

Our studio does not administer medication. Parents are welcome to come to the studio during operation times and give the needed medication to their child.
