Preschool Children and Youth

When you drop your child off at one of our programs, please come into the art studio to sign them in with the instructor. You will also need to sign your child out at the end of the class. If you are late at pick-up we will charge a $10.00 late fee every 15 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time.

Please send your child with a smock, apron or old shirt to protect their clothing. We recommend wearing older clothes because children will be working with messy materials, such as paints and pastels. For programs that run longer than an hour, children are encouraged to bring a:

• peanut-free snack
• refillable water bottle

Your child will bring their artwork home each week, unless it is a piece that requires multiple classes to complete. If you are curious about your child's productivity, you can always ask our instructors.

To be fair to all program participants and due to limited space, visitors and guests are not able to sit in on our art program classes. For drama-based classes, we will hold a performance showcase at the end of each program for participants to show their talents.

In order to register your child in one of our programs, they need to be within the specified age range by the age cut of date listed in the following age policy.

Art program age policy

*unless specified in the program description

We only accept a maximum of 20 participants in our registered programs. For holiday-themed workshops, the maximum enrolment is 25 children. In order to ensure that children receive enough individual instruction, our classes have the following supervision ratios:

• For children under the age of 5 there will be 1 instructor for every 8 children
• For children 5 years of age and older there will be 1 instructor for every 10 children.
