To avoid any mix-ups, please remind your child to go to Mad Science after school on class days. It’s also a good idea to send the teacher a note instructing the child where to go. Our instructors are not able to leave the classroom to look for absent children. An announcement will be made on the first day of class, directing the children where to meet. Mad Science is not responsible for children before or after the stated class times. Please pick your child up promptly after Mad Science at the school designated location at dismissal. If you are going to be late, please make arrangements to have your child picked up by someone else or attend after school care if available. Late pickup will be charged after a 5 minute grace period at the rate of $1.00 per minute and must be paid to the Mad Science office prior to the start of the next class for your child to continue. If your child attends after school care, they will be walked there at the end of class.

For refund requests made prior to the start of the program, a $15 processing fee will be deducted. No refunds or prorated fees for missed classes. There is a $30 fee for all returned checks.

If a class is cancelled due to inclement weather or an unexpected school closing, we will attempt to schedule a make-up class. We are unable to offer a refund for classes missed due to unforeseen circumstances. An alternate topic for a particular class may be substituted without notice if necessary.
