Policies
Cancellations
Cancellations made one full week in advance of the first day of the session will be honored with a refund subject to a $10 cancellation fee. No refunds will be made after that time.

Medical Release and Photo Permission
Every child must have a completed, signed medical release form on file at the Art Center prior to the first class session. There is a space to indicate your permission for ACFL to use your child’s image in publicity photos. The form is available at registration. The medical release form is available at registration.

Lunchtime and Snacks
Morning & afternoon snacks will be provided. All children should bring their own water bottle, marked with their name. Children enrolled in full-day, or consecutive morning and afternoon half-day sessions, need to bring a sack lunch with them. Children may not leave alone during snack breaks or lunch break and must remain on Art Center premises during all breaks.

Drop-Off and Pick-up
Children may be dropped off at the Art Center no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the start of their session, and picked up no later than 15 minutes after the close of each session. The Art Center is not a day-care facility. No one is available to watch the children either prior to or after the Art Camp sessions.

Behavior
The Art Center expects children to behave respectfully and to obey the instructors and interns. Bullying or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If a child misbehaves, parents will be sent a written notification of their child’s misbehavior after the first offense; the child will be dismissed from Art Camp if there is a second offense. No refunds will be issued. Note that climbing walls and trees are grounds for misbehavior notifications. Parents should instruct their children about street safety since the Art Center is located on Central Avenue, a high traffic street.

Clothing
Children need to dress in clothing that can get dirty as paint, clay, glue, etc., may be used in large quantities. Children will have exercise time outside on a daily basis, so please be sure they have appropriate outdoor clothing. Please, no flip-flops – there have been bee stings. If your child needs sunscreen, please send a personal tube or bottle.
