To ensure a positive experience for all, we require that our youngest artists meet two key readiness criteria:

• Drawing Development: Children should be past the scribbling stage and beginning to create intentional shapes and forms.

• Level of Independence: Artists must be comfortable using the bathroom on their own and participating in class without a parent present.

If we determine a child is not quite ready for the program, we may remove them from the series and offer a credit for a future series.

Registration Cancellation

All reservations include a 20% non refundable deposit.

Cancellations made more than 14 days prior to the series start date may receive a refund minus the non-refundable deposit. 

Cancellations made within 14 days of the class series start date are NONREFUNDABLE.

Class Cancellation

In the unlikely event that Corner House Studio cancels a class due to illness, low enrollment, or unforeseen issues, we will either offer an alternative session or issue a refund for the missed class.

We understand that delays happen. However, if your child is picked up 10 or more minutes after the end of class a late fee of $25 will be charged.

If they are picked up 30 minutes or more after class ends a fee of $75 will be charged.

Late pickup fees are paid directly to the staff members who stay to supervise your child after pickup time.

We encourage creative freedom—which often means getting a little messy!

While we provide aprons, we recommend sending your child to class in clothes that can handle paint, glue, and other materials.

Illness

If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home to rest and recover. This helps protect the health of our entire studio community.

If a child is dropped off and showing signs of illness (ex. coughing, fever, sneezing) we may keep the artists out of class and request an early pick up.

Emergency Preparedness

In the unlikely event of an emergency evacuation, our designated meeting location is Montclair Park, one block from the studio. We practice safety protocols as part of our staff training to ensure a calm and organized response in an emergency situation.

We value freedom and autonomy and try to create the least restrictive environment possible for our artists.

Our behavior policy exists to keep our community respectful, safe, and focused on creativity and fun.

All artists are expected to:

• Participate actively and safely in studio activities

• Respect others, teachers, materials, and space

• Keep hands and bodies to themselves

• Follow directions from teachers and staff

• Use kind language and actions

Addressing Disruptive Behavior

If an artist’s behavior makes it hard for others to feel safe, focus, or enjoy the program, we will work with families to find solutions. However, if disruptive behavior continues after support and communication, your child may be dismissed from the program.

Any behavior that puts others at risk—such as hitting, kicking, pushing, or making threats—may result in immediate removal from the program.

If your child has a disability, developmental delay, or sensory, emotional, or behavioral needs that may impact their experience in class, please reach out to makeart@cornerhouse.studio. We’d love to partner with you on a support plan that helps your artist feel safe, supported, and successful here.

Our talented teachers bring a wealth of artistic knowledge and creativity to their teaching. Just as important, they are kind and patient—dedicated to making each child feel confident and inspired.

All staff members are trained in safety protocols, positive behavior management, and our studio’s unique, confidence building approach to creativity.

By registering for any of our programs, you grant Corner House Studio permission to use photos or videos taken during class for marketing and promotional purposes.

If you prefer for your child not to be included, please let us know.
