Station Policies

Parent or Caregiver Presence:

• Parents or caregivers must be present for the open-studio time. For everyone's safety, parents of children age 5 and below must help their children with crafts. 

• Parents may drop off children for designated classes and camps. Please note, we are not a daycare and for this reason, we require all children to be age 7 years and older to be dropped off without a parent present.

Age Appropriate:

All students must be the applicable age for the registered class. We create classes that are developmentally appropriate in hopes that each student will have a fulfilling experience instead of a frustrating one. Please kindly look at the age specification for each of our programs prior to registering.

Behavior:
 

It is our goal to maintain a positive outlook in order for creative energy to flow freely amongst all our students. 

• The Craft Station reserves the right to dismiss any child from class due to inappropriate behavior. 

• We expect students to act respectfully at all times when they are on our property or participating in our programs. 

• Physical violence or bullying toward another student or staff member will result in immediate dismissal from class.

• Examples of unacceptable behavior:

  • Refusing to follow behavior guidelines or rules

  • Using profanity, vulgarity or obscenity

  • Stealing or damaging property (personal or company property)

  • Refusal to participate in activities or cooperate with staff

  • Disrupting a program

  • Endangering the health and safety of children and/or staff

  • Teasing, making fun or bullying of other campers or staff

• Class fees are non-refundable if a student is sent home for disciplinary reasons. 

Transition Before and After Class:
 

• All parents/caregivers are required to sign-in their children for classes. If someone different is picking up your child, their name must be listed on the sign-in/sign-out sheet. An identification will be required.

• Please try to arrive on time. A late arrival is very distracting to the class and the child coming in can be apprehensive about being late. 

• Parents are welcome to remain in the reception area or use the class time to run errands and come back at the required time (for children 7 and older), but are not allowed in the classroom during class time.

• After class, no child will be permitted to leave the work area without a parent or care-taker present.

Sick Policy:

In consideration for all students, please do not bring your child to class if he/she is not feeling well. If a member of our staff notices that a child is not feeling well (runny nose, excessive coughing, overly tired etc.), they will be asked to leave the class. A child should be fever and diarrhea free for a minimum of 24 hours before coming into class. Make up classes will be offered in our open studio hours and will include a project for your child.
