Missed Classes:
FOR ONE-TIME CLASSES:
No refunds or credits will be given for any missed programs. If APEC is notified within one week that the registrant cannot attend or if APEC cancels the program, a registration credit for the amount of the class will be applied to your account to be used for future APEC program registration.
FOR TODDLER TIME AND SUNNY BUNNIES:
No refunds or credits will be given for any missed programs. If you decide to cancel your registration before the program starts or withdraw from the class, refunds will only be applied if your spot is filled by another student. If the spot in the program is not filled, a credit will be applied to your account. A $25 cancellation processing fee will be deducted from the total refunded or credited.
Make-up Policy:
There are NO make-up classes for single session programs. Each fall, winter, and spring, one make-up class will be offered for students in Toddler Time and Sunny Bunnies. There will be a limited number of spots in the make-up class. Parents should speak to their APEC teacher to sign-up for the make-up class. Make-up classes are not offered at this time.

Your child MUST reach the required age for a particular program either before or during the month that he/she begins that program. All programs are drop-off unless otherwise noted. Parents must bring their child to the classroom for their drop-off program. Participants in drop off classes must able to use the bathroom independently (No pull-ups or diapers). Due to space constraints in our classrooms, one parent per child is permitted in parent participation classes.
Trial Classes:
APEC does not offer trial classes. Try one of our one-time weekend programs! They are an accurate representation of how we run our weekly programs.
The environmental center is located in Alley Pond Park, surrounded by lush nature trails where visitors can enjoy NYC's natural landscapes. Guests are welcome to attend one of APEC's many nature oriented programs for all ages and visit the center's animal ambassadors. Please explore our website to learn more and register for programs.
