Age Recommendations
Most activities include a recommended age range to use as a guide for determining the level of experience, attention, and skill an activity requires. Adult only classes are offered to those 14+. All other classes are open to a range of ages - if you are unsure if an activity is appropriate, please contact us to determine what the activity entails to guide your decision.
Children Under Age 5
Children under the age of five must be accompanied by an adult. A seating area is available for adults who stay for the duration of the activity (unless restricted).
Drop off or stay options are available for all children over the age of five years. For each child dropped off, the emergency contact information form will be required online at the time of signup.
During the pandemic only guests with a reserved seat may remain in the studio or in the class area - all events require that you either drop-off or particpate (unless accompanying a child under the age of 5). Please contact the studio to verify seating availability prior to registering for an event. This is in place so that we can limit the amount of people we have in the space at any time.
Family Events
We offer a variety of family events each season with the intention of offering something “different” that families can do as a free or low-cost option for a night out together. During these events, at least one adult is expected to accompany their children and participate in the events. Unless otherwise specified, registration for each event is required so that we may properly prepare our venue and resources to ensure everyone can participate. If anyone in your family has a restriction or requires a special accommodation, please contact us at the time of sign-up.
COVID-Updates
In-Studio Events
-If attending an "in-studio" event, please bring a face mask with you to wear throughout the activity.
- Seating is limited at this time, all groups are filled to a reduced capacity to ensure appropriate spacing between guests.
- You will be seated with guests that you have registered with and/or request to be seated with whenever possible. You not be seated with unfamilar guests, unless appropriate distancing mesaures are taken.
- Materials are individualized whenever feasible. Most often, you will not be sharing materials with other guests, instead you will have your own set of materials to use while in our space. If a community resource is used, the instructor will manage the resource to limit touching of same surfaces.
- High traffic areas, tables, and other surfaces are sanitized between activities. Table covers are changed between events/guests.
- We ask that if you have signs or symptoms that indicate that you are ill, you should remain home and contact us as soon as possible to make alternative arrangements. Many of our in-studio events are available virtually and/or materials can be packaged "to go". Please see our cancellation policy for more information.
- Due to COVID restrictions, visitors and guests must have a ticket to attend an event (or to remain the building), only ticketed guests are invited to stay for the event. If a child under the age of 5 would like to participate in an activity, a parent/guardian must be present. The parent/guardian must contact ConnectEd & Inspired in advance by email (alwaysconnectedandinspired@gmail.com) to determine if there is adequate seating for an additional guest. This guarantees that our class sizes can remain small and manageable with new regulations.
- Instructors will wear masks and/or shields at all times throughtout the class/session.
- Gloves will be worn whenever handling food items and during food distribution.
- Weather permitting, we reserve the right to hold class outdoors on the patio or indoors in our studio - regardless, the same measures will be upheld.
If you have any questions regarding the changes to our practice due to COVID, please do not hesitate to reach out to our studio at (781)480-1375 or send an email to alwaysconnectedandinspired@gmail.com
