REGISTRATIONs Open! Click “Contact” to Register!

Classes run on an ongoing basis from Sept to June, with monthly payments due on the first of each month. Groups are kept small to assure individual attention. Class fees are averaged out over the number of weeks in the school schedule between Sept-June* to allow for the same monthly fee. A $10.00 late fee will be charged for classes not paid by the 10th of the month. * End date in June subject to change depending on snow dates.


 Registrations will be confirmed when the first month’s non-refundable payment has been received. Emails, texts, hallway chats, etc are NO guarantee of a spot.  Should a student need to drop the class, a 2-week notice is required .They are welcome to return should a spot still be available. 


STUDIO CLOSINGS:  We follow the NH school vacation** & holiday schedule. Teacher workshop days,however, do not affect our classes. **Should your school observe a different vacation week, we will make every attempt to schedule a time your student can make up that missed class.


LATE PICKING UP CHARGE: Unless prior arrangements have been made, there will be a $10 late fee for 10 min late and $5 for each additional 5 min you are late. (i.e. fifteen minutes late= $15 fee). With only one instructor who may have another class following yours and possibly off-site, this has unfortunately become an issue.


OTHER INFORMATION: Please text or email if your student will be absent that day. Also, we have aprons, but “art” clothes are recommended as we do get messy sometimes! 


SICKNESS or COVID SYMPTOMS:  We stress to please not send your child if they are showing signs of illness, and wear a mask if coughing.  It is a small space. THE ART ROOM reserves the right to take a touchfree temp if anyone is appearing ill.  We appreciate everyone doing their part in the protection of ALL !   Thank you for understanding.
