Bring an art smock
Even though materials are provided, an old shirt or smock prevents stains on school clothes.
Notify instructor of support needs
Email Katie McErlean before the term if your child has sensory, behavioural or attention needs so the group fit is right.
Arrive on time for pick-up
Students must be collected by 5:30 pm; call ahead if you’ll be late to avoid disrupting the class wrap-up.
Expect mixed-media
Each week covers different media—paper, paint, collage and clay—so encourage your child to embrace experimentation.
Art smock or apron
Protects school clothes during painting and mixed-media sessions.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps kids hydrated during the hour and outdoor breaks.
Old clothes for messy days
Extra-old clothes are handy for particularly messy sculpture or dye projects.
Light snack for after class
A quick snack helps kids refuel between school and afternoon activities.
