At Young Explorers, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds on our digital products and in-person programs.

Digital Products (Little Scientists Activity Pack)

  • Duplicate Purchase: If you accidentally purchased the same product twice, we will refund the duplicate purchase.

Non-Refundable Situations

  • Change of mind after download or access has been provided
  • Inability to use the product due to user's technical limitations (e.g., incompatible devices, no PDF reader)
  • Dissatisfaction with content style or approach (we recommend reviewing product descriptions carefully before purchase)
  • Purchase made by mistake by minors without parental authorization

In-Person Programs (Junior Makers, Robotics, AI Pioneers)

Free Trial Classes

We offer one FREE trial class for all in-person programs. This allows you and your child to experience our teaching style before making a commitment. No payment is required for trial classes.

  • Non-refundable once the kit has been provided to the student
  • Refundable if you cancel before the kit is handed over
  • The kit belongs to the student and can be taken home

Missed Classes

  • Missed classes due to personal reasons are not refundable or reschedulable
