Refunds:
We pride ourselves on our high-quality classes. We base our staffing and program budgets on the number of students enrolled in each class. This makes it necessary that tuition be non-refundable. We do offer transfers to a future class for a $20 fee and are happy to discuss options in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

If a customer cancels registration, there is a $25 cancellation fee.

Class conduct:
Art classes and art studios are places of safety, inclusion, and kindness. While we understand that mistakes and missteps happen, and we are tolerant and encouraging of all children, we have a one-strike policy for verbal or physical aggression or unkindness. If your child is verbally or physically aggressive, you will be made aware both in writing and in person. If there is a second occurrence, your child will be dismissed from the program with no refund of tuition. Thank you for your understanding and support.
