May I register my child for a 9 a.m. class and a 2 p.m. class with no class in between?
No. All students taking two classes must be registered in back-to-back time slots. There are no exceptions.
My child is taking more than one class. Will he/she be supervised during the 30-minute break between classes?
Students staying for more than one class should bring a sack lunch or snack and will be supervised during the break.
The class my child wants to take is full. Is there anything I can do to get him/her in this class?
After a class has reached the maximum enrollment, no additional students may register. There is a waiting list of three students per class. If space becomes available, these students will be called in the order their registrations were received.
May I register my gifted child for an older age group?
No. Age requirements are strictly enforced and are non-negotiable. All children must be registered in their correct age groups.
May I stay in the classroom with my child?
No. If you feel that your child is unable to remain in the classroom for more than a few minutes without you, wait another semester before sending him/her to art class. Independent learning and socialization are part of the art-camp experience.
A friend or relative is visiting from out of town. May he/she attend class as a guest with my child?
No. Only registered participants may attend class. Guests are not allowed in the classroom.
Do you have change for the vending machines?

May I leave my child at the drop-off door at class time? May I pick up my child there?

Do you offer an extended-day program?
Yes! Students must be enrolled in the 6–8 age group and above, and registered for the 2–4 p.m. time slot, to participate in the After-Care program. Please see page 15 of the summer course catalog for details.
