How does the flex pass work?
With our flex pass, your child can come ANY Friday we offer the program. Please note the dates we are not offering class listed above. You do not need to let us know when your child plans to attend the program. You can easily purchase a pass below and your child can come at any time.
What does my child need to bring?
Your child needs to bring a filled water bottle to drink. A snack is provided by The Art Spark (Goldfish and applesauce.) Please, make sure your child has eaten breakfast, as we do not eat snack until 10 AM.
What does my child need to wear?
Please, dress your child in clothes that can get messy! We may be painting with our hands and feet, playing in the water table, or mixing up slime. We do not guarantee that paint will wash out of clothing.
What will my child do while at Mini Makers class?
8:30-8:45 AM We will begin class by drawing at the table, then doing introductions!
8:45-10 AM We will read a book relevant to the theme and then create artwork inspired by theme. Our projects will primarily focus on exploring new processes in art. (Process, not product!) We may be painting, sculpting, cutting, glueing, mixing up slime, weaving, embellishing projects and more!
10-10:15 Bathroom breaks and snack
10:15-10:45 Playtime! Students will play with our various toys – costumes, water table, mini house, and more!
10:45-11:15 Stations or playing a Game

How will I know if I run out of class passes?
We will let you know!
How much does a class pass cost?
A class pass for 4 Mini Maker mornings is $320

Can my child come “try a class?”
No, we do not allow students to try a class. If your child comes to a Mini Maker class and you do not think they will return, we will send you a full refund!
How independent does my child need to be in the bathroom?
Mini Makers need to be potty trained. This means they can push their pants down, wipe, pull their pants up, flush, and wash their hands independently. If your child is newly potty trained, please wait a few weeks/months before enrolling into this program. *If your child needs a little help with wiping, please note that on the form.
When does my pass expire?
Your pass expires May 23, 2025. All classes must be used on or before this date. The pass cannot be rolled over and is not valid for other programs and cannot be used as a credit. In mid-April, previous pass holders can continue to come and pay via invoice at the end of the year.
