Swim Make-Up Policy

Swim make-ups are typically offered twice per month throughout the School Year session.  We offer them as a courtesy but we are not always able to accommodate all make up requests.  Make up classes are strictly limited to one make up class every calendar month.

Pre-registration is required for these make-ups. All children must be currently enrolled in a class in order to attend a make-up.

  • All children eligible for a make-up MUST pre-register at the front desk either in person, via our parent  portal or by phone in order to reserve their spot. (609) 926-2682
  • Any child NOT pre-registered WILL NOT be permitted to attend the make-up class and will have to enroll for a future date. We have this policy in place for the safety of the children and also to allow our instructors to offer the highest quality class possible.
  • Once a make up class is scheduled we DO NOT permit making up the scheduled make up class without a note from your child’s physician. 
  • Bright Stars is proud to be one of very few swim programs in our area to offer the opportunity to make up a missed class.  With that said, our make up policy does not always work for all families.  
  • We stress the importance of attending weekly class to allow for consistent growth and development. 
  • If your child is experiencing a medical issue affecting more than 2 classes please contact us and we will discuss options for your child.  

Make-up Policy For Inclement Weather

If for some reason Bright Stars should have to cancel classes due to inclement weather you will have the opportunity to make up the missed class time. You will have 3 months to make up this missed class.

Following a closing additional preschool open gym and open swim times may be added to our current schedule to help accommodate make-ups.

Bright Stars will communicate any closings regarding inclement weather via our website, email/text, and social media.

Closing Policy

There are several ways we will inform you if Bright Stars will be closed or delayed in opening due to winter weather! Closing decisions will be made at least 1 hour prior to event or class start time.

As a reminder closing and delays are always for the safety of our families and staff!
