Thank you for all of the input. We have listened and made a few small tweaks to the schedule as a result of your feedback.
 Here is the updated schedule for to you check out.
The new schedule will be active starting Tuesday, September 5th.

Things of note on the new schedule

One of the important changes to notice, is that we have added a 15 min “buffer” any time an Adult class follows a Kids Class. We hope this small change will help to ease some of the congestion and parking issues at the time that families are trying to leave and adult students are trying to get to class.
As everyone has seen, the MKG Kids classes are growing, and this is awesome! We are very happy that we have new families joining us! As we still want to maintain a good instructor to student ratio, we are capping the total amount of kids per class at 16 students.
To make room for the new students we are adding another MKG Kids Class at 4:15pm on Monday and Wednesday! With this change, we are giving our current families first choice on class time of 4:15 – 5:15pm or 5:15 – 6:15pm. Your family will still be able to come any combination of Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, but we are asking that you choose a time so that we will better able to add new students. There is some flexibility to switch classes but only for extraneous circumstances like doctors appointments and so on. These will be considered on an individual basis.
There will be a sign up sheet at the front desk for you to choose you class time. We will need a final decision by Wednesday, August 30th. As the new schedule will start Tuesday, September 5th. If you do not make a choice on the sign up sheet will assume that you want remain at the 5:15 pm time slot. After every testing families will be able to re-evaluate their schedule and make a change (if there is room in the other class.)
Thank you so much for your input, patience and understanding during the exciting growth of our MKG Kids Program!
