Parents or guardians must deliver the child directly to a STEMA Learning Centre staff member. Release is permitted only to authorized individuals. Parents may remain on the premises but are not required to.
Staff are authorized to pick up children from designated schools and transport them to STEMA locations via walking, group supervision, or vehicles. STEMA Learning Centre is not responsible for the child until the child has been picked up by STEMA staff.
Parents or guardians must pick up their child at the scheduled program end time. Late pickups incur additional supervision fees. Repeated lateness may result in suspension or termination.
Students must respect instructors, peers, and property while following instructions. STEMA Learning Centre maintains a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, including verbal abuse, physical aggression, cyberbullying, intimidation, or exclusion. Violations result in warnings, suspension, or dismissal. No refunds are issued for behavioural dismissal.
Programs may include supervised outdoor activities such as visits to nearby parks or playgrounds. Enrollment implies consent.
STEMA may photograph or video students for newsletters, social media, and website purposes. If you do not wish for your child to appear in photographs or videos, please notify STEMA Learning Centre in writing prior to the program.
Interior and exterior surveillance may be used for safety and security; bathrooms are excluded.
STEMA Learning Centre is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal belongings brought to the program.
If unreachable, parents authorize staff to seek medical assistance, including emergency services. Parents are responsible for all medical costs.
Programs involve hands-on activities including robotics, electronics, engineering projects, tools, materials, and outdoor activities. While precautions exist, participation involves physical injury risks that are voluntarily accepted by guardians.
Guardians confirm disclosure of all relevant information regarding the child's health, behavioural, physical, or mental conditions. Non-disclosure may result in program withdrawal for safety reasons.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parent/Guardian releases, waives, and holds harmless STEMA Learning Centre, its owners, directors, employees, instructors, contractors, agents, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising from the child's participation in the Program(s), except where caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Parents agree not to pursue legal action against STEMA except where prohibited by law.
