What if I signed up for a month of classes but my child gets sick and misses a week? Not a problem at all! This occurs often and you simply schedule a make-up class for that same or the following week. You can check the posted schedule and find a class for that age group that is convenient for you and your child.
Can I sign up for more than one month of classes at a time? Yes! We actually prefer that as it cuts down on paperwork/billing processes! Simply add a “package” to the cart when you sign up for a class. You will see that you can register your child for 3 months or 6 months classes while saving a bit of money!
I know the classes are an hour long. What happens if I am running late for pick-up due to an errand? We understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes lead to running late for pick-up, and we always prioritize the safety and well-being of your child. Rest assured, your child will be in a safe and supervised environment until you arrive. We know that situations arise that are out of our control, and we're here to accommodate those occasional instances. However, we kindly request that you let us know as soon as possible if you anticipate being late, so we can inform our instructors and ensure that everything is running smoothly. Our instructors are dedicated to providing a positive and enriching experience for every child, and their time is valuable as well. While we fully understand that life can get busy, and situations can arise unexpectedly, we also ask for your understanding in not making late pick-up a repeated occurrence. We believe that a respectful and considerate approach benefits both our instructors and the students. Thank you for your understanding, and we're here to ensure the best possible experience for your child.
Do you offer refunds if we need to stop going to Tupperberry?
At Tupperberry, we understand that life can bring unexpected changes and challenges. While our aim is to provide a consistent and enriching experience for all participants, we also recognize that circumstances may arise that necessitate a change in plans.We encourage all our participants to embrace their commitment to Tupperberry's programs, as continuity in learning and engagement is vital for growth. However, we also empathize with situations beyond anyone's control, such as sudden moves or financial difficulties. Refund considerations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the unique circumstances and the commitment made. Our priority is to find a fair and compassionate solution that works for everyone involved. If you find yourself facing such a situation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to discuss your specific circumstances and explore the best possible resolution.
What If I sign up for a class or art camp and have to cancel?

Summer Art Camp FAQ
What are the summer art camp hours?
Tupperberry's summer art camp runs from 9:15 am to 11 am. However, you can drop off your child anytime after 9 am. Instruction begins at 9:15 am and ends at 10:45 am. Afterward, children can enjoy a free snack of popcorn or bring money to purchase other treats from the snack bar.
What if I'm late picking up my child from summer camp?
Art instruction ends at 10:45 am. Your child can stay for an additional 15 minutes to work on their art or enjoy the provided snacks. Parents and guardians should pick up their child by 11 am. If you are late, there will be a $25 fee for every additional 30 minutes.
What happens to after-school classes during summer?
All after-school programs are suspended during the summer. Classes end at the end of May and will resume at the end of August, in line with the Irvine/Tustin school calendar.
Where are art classes held?
Most summer art classes take place on the patio at the back of the building. It's a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while creating art! If the weather doesn't permit, classes will be held indoors on the upper level.
Are children of different ages mixed together in classes?
Whether children of different ages are mixed in classes depends on registration volume. In weeks with high enrollment, we divide classes by age group, with younger children attending indoor classes. Rest assured, if classes are mixed, we have plenty of helpers available to assist the younger children.
