F.A.Q.
Do I need to let The Art Spark know we're attending?
No, you do not need to let us know! We want our Mini Maker parents to feel like our program works with YOUR schedule. You can come every week, every other week, or whenever you have a free day. That is the beauty of our punch pass! All you need to do is show up with your child ready to have fun.
Where can I see examples of class projects?
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 22, 2026. 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.
