FAQ's 4 Parents

How do our classes run? What is my child doing at a Bricks 4 Kidz® workshop, class or camp?

What are Bricks 4 Kidz® Lego-based programs?

Bricks 4 Kidz® offers creative and challenging classes using LEGO® bricks, motors, and remote controls. We provide a unique learning environment where qualified teachers inspire imagination and invention. We make learning fun.

How often do classes meet and how long are they?

Elementary after school classes meet weekly with the exception of holidays and teacher planning days. Each class is 1 hour long and typically meets immediately after school lets out.

Each 60 min class is organized into the following schedule:

  • 10-15 min lesson
  • 25 min model build
  • 15 min free play
  • 5 min clean-up

How long do the classes or camps run?

More often than not classes run in 6 week sessions for the entire school year. However, on occasion an 8-week session may be held. Each session has a new and exciting theme! Camps are structured as 3-hour activities for either morning or afternoon sessions.

Who teaches our activities?

Bricks 4 Kidz instructors are individuals who have a great interest and ability in teaching Bricks 4 Kidz programs to students in an exciting way. Each instructor is trained in teaching specific lessons involving the themes in the programs. In addition, all instructors go through a criminal history background check.

Do students take home their projects?

Due to the exorbitant cost of the kits we use children can not take home what they build. Teachers take special care to take photos of your child with the models they build so that you can see what they are doing on evert activity. During certain sessions the children may build and take home a mini-figure at the end of the session.

How do I enroll my child in a class or camp?

At the bottom of our web page you will find an area that says “Parents Enroll Here”. Just click there and you will be directed to our enrollment site. If you have previously set-up an account with us, then just log-in with your user name and password and search for events in your area. If you are new, you will be asked to create an account. Once you have located the event just walk through the enrollment steps and you will be sent an email confirming the enrollment. Some of our classes are hosted by other parties (library, community center, etc.) in which case you may have to fill out additional paperwork through that organization. We will make note of any camp or classes that require additional paperwork. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

How much do the classes or camps cost?

Each class is competitively priced and is based on the type of program being offered (workshop, after school classes, birthday parties or camps) so pricing may vary. We work to make sure all of our events are fairly priced.

Refund Policy

Refunds will not be issued for non-attendance at a scheduled class or camp. For camps, any changes prior to the beginning of camp are subject to a 20% administrative fee. Due to the limited nature of our camps or classes, Bricks 4 Kidz reserves the right to issue refunds and charge a penalty fee for reimbursements. As an added benefit to all our parents we never charge registration fees to ANY of our programs.

Make-up classes and transfer policy

Make up classes & transfers will be accommodated as long as there is room in the class or camp.

What age groups are appropriate for this program?

Each class is different, and while we do have some more advanced summer camps, most of our programs are suitable for children ages 5-12. When out of school programs or camps are offered we will always try to note which age is best suited to attend. After school classes will always say whether they are intended for preschool children or older.

I don’t see a class at the school my child attends, what can I do?

If you would like to see a Bricks 4 Kidz® class offered at your child’s school, please let us know. We will most likely ask you to contact your school’s after school coordinator (principal, PTA, etc.) and tell them about our program. We offer a free session as a reward to any parent who helps us start a class at a new location.

Do you offer classes for Homeschoolers, private and/or Group sessions?

Yes, If you are interested we can totally work something out to teach our classes in the privacy of your home for a special price or, in most cases, parents like to create after school groups with children from the same community and we can teach the classes alternating between the homes of participating children.

If you have other questions concerning our program, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We will always do our best to answer your questions in a timely manner

Class Conduct

Bricks 4 Kidz reserves the right to release, without refund of program fees, any child whose behavior becomes unmanageable. This action will not be taken without verbal and written warnings. No children will be allowed to intentionally physically harm any other persons or person’s property while class is in session. Bricks 4 Kidz highly discourages students from bringing any personal LEGO® Bricks such as minifigures or personal LEGO® models to classes. Bricks 4 Kidz is NOT responsible for damages or loss of any personal property while at a class.
