Make-up Policies

If you and your child miss a class during a session, one of the following solutions may be appropriate:

  • Arrange to drop in to any of the other class times during the week.  The same lesson is taught to each class in the week, (of the same grade level) so you won't miss the fun.  This option is limited during Coronavirus concerns, as the number of children in the studio is limited.
  • Arrange with the instructor to arrive a few minutes early or stay late in the next class to catch up with the project, as the instructor's schedule allows.
  • Request a "To-Go" bag with the week's lesson and supplies. (only available for the 2-5 year old parent/child classes)  
  • If the above options are not possible, at the discretion of Art Time for Kids, you may be credited for future session, depending on the circumstances.
