General Information

We believe that we offer the finest children's programming and facilities in Greater Cincinnati. We also know that we cannot always offer exactly what every child needs at every stage of their development. That is why we are happy to offer the following guarantee: If after your child's first 4 week session of classes, you are not satisfied for any reason, we will cheerfully refund 100% of your tuition for the entire first term.

20% Family Multi-Class Discount:

20% FAMILY DISCOUNT: -- ONLY the most expensive tuition in your immediate family pays full fare; all lesser tuitions are discounted 20% (certain non Kids First, Too programs may be excluded).

Hours of Operation:

Monday 9:00 am - 8:00 pm
Thursday 9:00 am - 8:00 pm
Saturday 9:00 am-1:00 pm

Make-Ups:

Just like college, your tuition pays for a class spot, REGARDLESS OF ATTENDANCE. However, as a courtesy, Kids First Too offers make-ups when doing so does not jeopardize the safety or integrity of the class.

• Makeups are not drop-in situations and MUST be scheduled in advance.
• Makeups must be taken while a child is enrolled. Once a child withdraws from the program, all makeups are cancelled.
• If you know your child will miss a class, please inform us ASAP. This courtesy allows us to schedule another child in his/her place.

Make-ups are a privilege. Kids First reserves the right to refuse to offer a makeup if we feel it will affect safety or lessen the experience of those children who have registered for and paid for that class.

$25 Family Administration Fee:

The $25 per family fee is due upon initial registration and on your anniversary date, thereafter.

Payment Procedures:

Kid First, Too offers our unique, new payment system. Tuition is paid every four weeks on a continuous basis. On the first day of each four week session, we charge the credit card or debit card number we have on file for you in our secured system.

Alternate Payment Methods: If some months you’d rather we didn’t use your card on file, simply pay before the charge date with a check, cash or an alternate credit card.

Withdrawing from the Program:

To deactivate your enrollment, simply notify our Hospitality Team, in writing 15 days before your withdrawal date (first day of tuition session). IMPORTANT: NOTICE MUST BE IN WRITING TO PROPERLY PROCESS YOUR REQUEST.

A Punctuality Plea:

Moms, Dads, for the sake of your child as well as all of the other children, please be on time! Being late is far more difficult on a child than what many parents realize. In addition, it greatly distracts the rhythm of the class.

The Kids First's Mission is:

to develop happy, healthy, responsible children.
Help children to appreciate their innate worth;
Help children to nurture their health & keep them safe from harm;
Help children to love to learn and accept challenges;
Help children to understand, care about, and help others;
...all as you're helping them to master and refine skills.

Our Unifying Principles

1. Unconditional Respect - Respect is absolutely unconditional.
2. Trustworthiness - Alignment toward the mission is possible only when we
   have of a strong foundation of trust. And trust is possible only with an
   individual dedication to be trustworthy.
3. Teamwork - Set ego is set aside in favor of working together. Even
   personal preference must be set aside if it is in disharmony with the
   mission.
4. Open Communication - Communication is open and forthright:
   1. communicate positively, saying what you would like to see, rather
      than what you do not want;
   2. in disagreement with another speak only with the person with whom
      you disagree and who can help resolve the problem;
   3. seek first to understand, then to be understood.
5. Perpetual Growth
   1. Personal growth;
   2. professional growth;
   3. Company growth. Company growth is a natural by-product of paying
      attention to the first two. There is no such thing as the status quo:
      there is only growth or degradation.
6. Reverence for the Company - Our Company requires your respect, as
   many people depend upon our Company for their growth and recreation
   (the kids) as well as their livelihood (the employees). As an employee, you
   are responsible for defending and protecting our Company's
   1. principles;
   2. profits;
   3. image;
   4. security
