FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



Do you have a price list?

Yes! Please see the price list below...

Our prices for family programs include the child and any adults in their lives who wish to share the experience together! We are happy to have them participate with a parent, nanny, grandparent, etc. Or you can also invite a special relative with you for a visit to celebrate their learning!

Since, this is classified as an educational program the invoice (if requested) can be added to your taxes for the year.

Why is your purchase a final sale?

In order to keep our numbers low (for safety) with small private groupings we will not be issuing exchanges, returns, or refunds of any kind.  Every business is different and every business owner does what they can to make decisions accordingly.  I included this section to be transparent with you.  


Before your class/program begins your registration goes towards the payment of:

  • Operating costs 

  • Staffing and Program Planning (educators, office administrators, cleaning team, photographer)

  • Marketing (photoshoots, online services, social media posts)

  • Materials (teaching/learning tools, art supplies, cleaning/sanitizing products)


By choosing our programs, you have now taken the spot of someone else who may have been interested.  The total number of confirmed participants, affects the overall planning and coordination.  TransformEd P.S. Inc. -- Creative Studio and Learning Centre has a similar registration process as a community program or childcare centre.  Once you sign up, your spot is reserved and staffing/marketing/materials/programming are planned around these numbers.  Think of this like a ticket to a concert - once you register, your spot is confirmed.  


We thank you in advance for understanding all of the time and preparation that it takes to welcome you to the TransformEd P.S. Inc. -- Creative Studio and Learning Centre.
