Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer make-ups or refunds for missed classes?

We don’t offer make-ups or refunds for missed classes, but you’ll receive one Drop-In Play Pass for each class you miss. Simply log into your Smartie account within 24 hours after the class ends and click Claim 1 Drop-In Play Pass at the top of the website for a fun bonus playdate later on. Remember to reserve your drop-in play time in advance at smartiepants.ca/dropins.

 

My child will be in daycare or school during the week – is it still worth registering?

Absolutely! We have BRAND NEW weekend classes designed just for families who can’t join us during the week. Check out SmartieSports+Yoga and SmartieGLOW offered on Saturday’s!

Plus, we also offer Drop-In Play packs and host magical birthday parties so your little one can still enjoy all the Smartiepants fun on weekends or special occasions!

My child isn’t exactly in the age range listed – can they still join?

Absolutely! The ages listed are just gentle guidelines. If your Smartie is a bit younger or older and the class feels like the right fit, we’d love to have them. Our instructors are great at adjusting for each child’s stage and confidence level.

We’ll be away for part of this session – should we wait until next time?

No need to miss out! You’ve got 3 options:
1) Purchase the class that works best for you & let us know when your vacation is once you’ve registered. We will credit you for the classes missed.
2) Email us closer to the session start date – and if a class is not full, we may be able to pro-rate it for you.
3) Purchase a Drop-in Play Pack and come to drop-in play times when you’re in town!

What if my child’s nap schedule changes or a class time no longer works?

We’re super flexible! If your schedule shifts, just reach out – we’ll do our best to move you into another class. And if nothing fits, we’ll place a credit on your account for future use. We know routines change, and we want Smartiepants to fit into your family’s rhythm – not the other way around.

Can I sign up for one-off classes/pro-rated session?

All of our programs run in sessions (same class, same time each week), but if spots are still open once the session starts, we may be able to offer a pro-rated spot or a one-off trial. Just shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to fit you in!

We also run Free Classes for New Families 1-2 times per month. So if you’re new to Smartie – click here to check them out!

What’s your policy if we need to cancel our class session?

Life happens (and so do nap changes)! If you need to cancel your session for any reason, we’ll pop a credit on your account that never expires. You can use it anytime – for a future session, drop-in play, or even a Smartie birthday party.

Do classes repeat or change each session?

The structure stays the same for comfort and routine, but themes, songs, and activities change every session – so there’s always something new for your Smartie to explore!

Can caregivers switch week by week?

Of course! We know it takes a village! As long as everyone’s listed on your account, they’re welcome to join the fun. Just give us a heads-up and introduce yourself when you enter so we can say hi by name!

Can siblings or babies tag along to a class?

We get it – sometimes you’ve got an extra sidekick in tow! 👶 Babies are welcome to tag along in a carrier or bucket seat during caregiver classes. Once they’re on the move, though, they’ll need their own spot (since grown-ups need to keep eyes on their enrolled Smartie). If you’re ever in a bind – say a sibling’s home from school – just shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to make it work!

My child is over 3 years old, are there classes for older kids now?

Yes! We’re thrilled to introduce SmartieAdventures (drop off), where kids explore weekly missions in art, nature, heart health, and more. AND for children 4 years + we also offer SmartieArtists and Social Butterflies (both drop off) – creative, confidence-building classes that grow right alongside your little learner.

Do I have to email if I am going to miss a class?

ou don’t need to email us if you’re going to miss a class. Just remember to log into your account within 24 hours after the class ends to claim your Drop-In Play Pass.

Smartiegym is my daughter’s favourite place to be! It is such a bright and welcoming place with activities for kids of all ages. The staff are amazing and make the place even more special. We love SmartieGym St. Clair!!

Laura S.

We love SmartieGym! Just had a birthday party for our two year old there. Could not have been easier! They take care of everything from decor to food. We brought cake and loot bags. It’s an amazing play space and we did a 20 min circle time/light dance party. The kids all had the best time! Highly recommend!!

Cara Sterling

Smartiepants is amazing! Gracie has always enjoyed her time at both SmartieGym and in individual classes with the teachers. They are creative and engaging! Highly recommend also for birthday parties.

Emma Fogel

“SmartieGym is the place to be! There’s nothing cuter than seeing the joy on my kids faces when they hear the ‘SmartieGym Train’ song. We always sing it at home now because it’s guaranteed to make them smile and dance! My kids are always excited to see Shaenne and explore everything the gym has to offer. We love SmartieGym!

Jessica Sorbara

Was absolutely an incredible venue to host our five-year-old's birthday. The staff were super friendly and made organizing and executing the party seamless. Would 100% recommend having your child's birthday here!
