Yes, We offer one trial class to each child for a $10 fee. The child’s trial should be for a class that is age appropriate or at the anticipated level he/she would be enrolling.   Our instructor will assess your child during the trial class and make a class/level recommendation.

Trial classes are offered in any regularly scheduled class with two (2) or more openings. As a trial holds a spot in class for your child  we can schedule one no more than 48 hours in advance.  

 Not sure which class is the best fit for your child?  Schedule a trial class to allow your child to full experience a class.

Please note, due to the popularity of our swim classes  we do not offer trial classes within our swim program.

A trial class is not required as many parents are confident in their class choice for their child.  You are welcome to enroll without scheduling a trial class.

Your child is not automatically enrolled into the class through a trial. We recommend enrolling your child into class the same day as your trial to guarantee your child's spot in that class. If enrollment is not handled that day your child will be dropped from that class and the spot will open back up to the public for enrollment.

Gymnastics - girls should wear a leotard with hair pulled back (or comfortable clothing for younger children). Boys should wear shorts and a t-shirt.

Swimming - children should wear a bathing suit and bring a towel. Goggles (except for Parent/tot classes) and swim caps (for children with hair longer than ear length) are required. Children that are not potty-trained are required to wear one of the iPlay Ultimate Swim Diapers that we offer for sale.  

Protective Layer Policy

For the safety of everyone utilizing the pool, ALL CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 3 AND A HALF, even if they are potty trained, are REQUIRED to wear a protective layer during their swim class.

The protective layer that Bright Stars requires is either the iPlay Ultimate Swim diaper- a cloth, non-disposable diaper- that can be purchased at our facility for $15.00 or the Happy Nappy- a neoprene, non-disposable diaper- that can be purchased at our facility for $15.00. (Disposable swim diapers are NOT PERMITTED.) Our washable, reusable swim diapers are amazing! Your child will surely find them to be comfortable.

Please understand this policy will be strictly enforced for the health and safety of all of our members. Any type of accidents that may occur in the pool would require a complete shut down of our pool for up to 24 hours, causing many disappointed swimmers (and parents).

Please understand, for the health and safety of our swimmers, WE NEVER make any exceptions to this policy.

Please note - Bright Stars serves many local school districts, so we do not align with any specific district calendar.

Enrollment is ongoing.  You may enroll your child at anytime.  Tuition will be pro rated. 

A decision for all morning programs will be made by 7:30am. We typically make a decision for afternoon programs between 12:00 and 2:00pm. If we have a delayed opening or closure we post updates on Facebook, Instagram, our website and we will also send an email. If classes are missed due to inclement weather, students will be entitled to a make-up for the missed class.

We realize  what may be smooth sailing for some, could be rough sledding for others. Please use good judgement based on road conditions, vehicle type and personal comfort when traveling in inclement weather. If Bright Stars is open and you are  uncomfortable driving we are happy to offer a make up class for your child.

Yes, all children enrolled in class must have a current Annual Membership. The fee is $35 per child. Members receive a special gift during their Birthday Month, and a Bright Stars hoodie upon enrollment/renewal of their membership. We also offer sibling discounts and a multi-class discount for any child enrolled in more than one class. Current members also receive priority enrollment during each of our enrollment periods for Summer and School Year sessions.

Bright Stars offers a year round program with two sessions.

School Year: Sept-June

Summer: July and August

Monthly tuition is based on an average of four classes per month. Students may enter our program at any time. The current month’s tuition will be pro-rated if necessary based on your child’s start date.

Enrollment is ongoing. Children may enroll at anytime just as long as a spot is available in the class.

Bright Stars operates on a perpetual enrollment basis. Perpetual enrollment means that your child’s spot in class is automatically reserved upon timely receipt of your monthly tuition payment.

All tuition at Bright Stars is set up as automatic billing. Upon enrolling in a class, you will be asked to provide credit card information for automatic credit card billing. If you prefer to pay cash or a different credit card than the one you have on file payment must be received by the 24th of the month. Your payment will be automatically charged on the 25th of each month. For example; February tuition will be processed on January 25th.

We sure do!
