Super-Fun Winter/Spring Priority Enrollment Starting Soon!

Before open enrollment for each semester of classes starts, we have a 2-week Priority Enrollment period in which current members may select classes and reserve spots first. For the Winter/Spring 2011 semester, Priority Enrollment starts on Monday, November 8th. The main benefit of Priority Enrollment for members is that they can secure a spot in classes that might potentially fill up once Open Enrollment starts. Children in evening and weekend classes and other key weekday classes are the main beneficiaries of enrolling early.

 

Priority Enrollment helps us at The Little Gym because it helps us determine which classes will need additional instructors scheduled and helps us determine if we have any additional hiring or training needs well in advance of the start of the next semester. To find instructors that love children, are energetic, intelligent, and capable of the best customer service and enjoy getting to know our fascinating customers, is a challenge! (Plus the class payments we receive during Priority Enrollment help ensure I can pay instructors, rent, and other bills through the slower holiday season!)

 

Each Priority Enrollment period, we try to make things fun and festive too. Starting on November 8th, we’ll have coffee, juice, water, and various snacks available for every class, for every day, for two weeks. Plus we’ll have daily raffle prize drawings. Once you enroll your child in classes, they are eligible for every remaining prize. If you win one of the nightly prizes, your raffle ticket goes back into the raffle box. So you can potentially win *every* prize! We have had multiple winners several times in the past. The goal is to encourage early enrollments, without penalizing anyone for doing so!

 

In the past, we’ve typically given away a bunch of The Little Gym prizes, such as t-shirts, hats, and gift certificates towards Parents’ Survival Nights, camps, and membership renewals, plus a few items that were donated from outside businesses.

This year, along with over $550 of The Little Gym prizes, we have over $550 of additional family-friendly prizes. Plus the first 50 students who enroll will get a buy-one, get-one free frozen yogurt from Yo Top It! of Oregon City (19550 Molalla Ave) . Here’s the list of what we’ll be raffling off, plus the dates of the raffles. For days in which there are multiple prizes, we will be drawing one winner per prize.
