Families with more than one child enrolled in ANY Stars & Stripes program will automatically receive a 5% discount on the lower tuition. (EXAMPLE: If you have one child in gymnastics and one child in karate you will receive a 5% tuition discount.) This applies only for the After School Kids Club.

Our tuition is divided into 9 installment payments (September-May) for your convenience (which is billed monthly). Just like college, your tuition pays for a class spot, REGARDLESS OF ATTENDANCE. If you should receive extra classes (August, June & 5 week months) there will be no extra charge although it will be considered a make-up for classes missed.

If a parent or authorized person is late picking the child up, a late fee of $20 for every 15 minutes will be applied (if a child is consistently picked up late). Children become upset when parents are not on time so please call (248) 625-3547 if you know you will be late.

A child will not be permitted to attend Kids Club when he or she has vomited or had diarrhea during the previous 24 hours.
Absolutely. If your child is doing a gymnastics, karate, tumbling, dance or warrior class then they would need to bring the correct attire for that program.

You will need to fill out the medication permission and instructions form included in the information packet from the state of Michigan. Their medication must have the pharmacy label on it. Please bring the medication in a plastic bag that also has the child’s name on it.
