Last week of Winter/Spring Priority Enrollment -- Open Enrollment starts November 22nd!

Winter/Spring semester Priority Enrollment ends Saturday, November 20th!


This week (November 15 - 20)  is the last week that members (enrolled and non-enrolled in classes) may reserve spots for the upcoming Winter/Spring semester before Open Enrollment begins. The Winter/Spring semester runs for 20 weeks -- January 24th through June 18th.

The following classes are either already full (noted below) or almost full for the Winter/Spring semester::

• Saturday 10:15am Super Beasts (2.5 - 3 year olds)
• Saturday 11:00am Funny Bugs (3-4 years)
• Wednesday 3:30pm Giggle Worms/Good Friends (4-6 years old)
• Saturday 12:05pm Giggle Worms/Good Friends -- FULL
• Monday 1:30pm Jazzy Bugs/Giggle Toes (dance/gymnastics for 3-5 years old)
• Monday 5:15pm Giggle Toes/Good Leaps (dance/gymnastics 4-6 years old)

Due to the high demand for the Saturday Giggle Worms/Good Friends class, we have changed the Saturday 2pm class for the Winter/Spring to also be a Giggle Worms/Good Friends class.

We have over $725 in raffle prizes being raffled off this week. When you enroll in classes, you're entered into every daily prize including:

• The Little Gym t-shirts, hats, winter camp, Parents' Survival Night, Annual Family Memberships, and more
• A brand new red wagon donated from State Farm Insurance agent, Matt Olsen
• A $25 gift certificate from Frog Pond Toys and Lily Pad Cafe' in Lake Oswego.
• A $75 gift certificate from Flourish Pilates in West Linn
• Children's books from Goodnight Room at the Bridgeport Village
• Men's shoes from Dockers
• A $30 gift certificate to Pampered Chef
• Grand prize of a free Fall 2011 semester of classes at The Little Gym of Lake Oswego!

In the last week alone, almost 50% of current members have re-enrolled for the 2nd half of the school year (Winter/Spring semester). We're expecting more classes to fill this week.

Here are answers to some of the questions we've been getting this past week:

Q: Why should you enroll for the Winter/Spring semester now when it starts in late January?
A: By enrolling now, you will almost certainly be able to get a spot in your class of choice. If you wait too long, the class you want may be full.

Q: When is the current semester over?
A: There are still 9 more weeks to the Fall semester.

Q: Do I have to pay for the full Winter/Spring semester now?
A: You can pay one installment of the 3- or 5-installment options. The 2nd installment on either plan isn't due until February 14th.

Q: Are there benefits to paying the tuition in full?
A: You receive a 10% Value Plan discount by paying in full, plus 50 bonus Member Milestone points (our rewards program). You can also pay a deposit of $78 and pay the balance of the Value Plan by January 24th, and still receive the 10% discount and 50 bonus Member Milestone points. The balance amount would be $273.

Q: What are the prices for the Winter/Spring classes?
A: 5 installments of $78 (base price), or 3 installments of $119 (8% discount) or $351 for the Value Plan (inlcudes 10% discount).

Q: Who will be teaching class ______?
A: We have the final instructor schedule set about 2 weeks prior to the start of each semster. All instructors have gone through our rigorous screening and training processes. They're all great. If you feel you want to switch classes, you're welcome to as many times and as long as there's space.

Q: What do I do if my schedule changes?
A: You can switch classes as many times as you'd like to, provided there is space in a class. If you ever need to unenroll, we will provide a prorated tuition refund about 2-4 weeks after you notify us of your need to unenroll. If you unenroll before the semester actually starts, your tuition is 100% refunded. The annual family membership is not refundable.

Q: What if I am going to miss a class?
A: Classes can be made-up as long as there is space in a class and as long as you're enrolled. Your makeup classes no longer expire. If you take a class when your child is 2 years old and then take a break and come back when he is 8 years old, all of your makeup classes will still be available to you! (This is a change that we made 2 weeks ago and will be announcing in classes this week.) We believe we have the best and most flexibile make-up policy in all of Portland. (If we don't please let us know who has a better one!)

Q: This sounds great! How can I enroll?
A: If your membership is valid, you can enroll by calling us at (503) 595-9702, or by enrolling online from the Schedule tab on our website --- www.tlglakeoswegoor.com. Non-members may become members and enroll starting on Monday, November 22nd.
