Learning Can Be Fun FAQs

Q. What information will I need to enroll my child?

To speed the registration process, please have the following information available before you begin the online registration process:

• Child’s name
• Child’s mailing address
• Child’s date of birth
• Child’s Social Security number (optional)
• Parent/guardian name, address, phones
• Emergency contact(s) name and phone
• People authorized to pick up your child (name, phone)
• Health information (allergies, medical conditions, medical devices, etc.) You will also be asked to read/accept the program authorization form, student code of conduct, and network user agreement during the registration process.

Q. How do I register my child online?

1. Browse the list of Learning Can Be Fun Courses.
2. Choose Create New Profile for your child, using YOUR CHILD’S name, date of birth, and other information (you may use parent’s email address).
3. Proceed to checkout. You will receive email confirmation and reminders.

NOTE: If you are enrolling more than one child, you will need to set up a separate profile for each student. Once you’ve set up each student’s profile – be sure to remember each user name and password – you may log back in at any time to add more courses.

Q. Do you accept phone registrations?

If you do not have access to a computer or the internet, you may certainly call our registration desk. However, please note that before registration can take place, we will send you an authorization form, which you will need to fill out, sign, and return to us. In addition, you will need all the information required for online registration/payment when you call. Also, because online registrations are processed in real time, it’s possible that a class with openings may fill before we have time to complete your phone transaction.

Q: Do I need to pre-register my child, or may I do that the first day of class?

We strongly recommend registering one week before the class begins. This will allow you time to gather/purchase needed supplies, and allow us time to send you an email invitation to be able to join the class virtually.

Q: May I register my child now and pay later?

All registrations are on a first-paid, first-enrolled basis. We must receive payment in full AND a complete Authorization Form before we can register your child for a class.

Q. The class my child wants is full. Do you keep a waiting list?

Yes, the online registration system allows you to place your child on a waiting list when a class is full. If an opening occurs – or we are able to add another class section – you will be contacted. (Please be ready to pay in full by credit or debit card as soon as you are notified of an opening. Otherwise, we must move to the next name on the waiting list.)

Q. Are scholarships available for LCBF classes?

Thanks to donor generosity, BRCC offers financial-need based scholarships. Call Continuing Education at 540/453-2215 for an application.

Q: My child is one year younger/older than the listed ages for the class, can he/she still attend?

The decision to let a child outside the listed age levels participate is contingent upon permission from both the program coordinator and the class instructor.

Q: If my child cannot attend his/her class, will I get a refund?

Refunds will be given if you withdraw your student no later than one week before the class starting date.

Q. Do you ever cancel classes?

We make every effort to hold all classes as scheduled. In the rare event a course doesn’t meet minimum enrollment, we will contact you at least one week prior to the start date to select an alternate placement or request a refund.
