Art Camp staff will ask all adults to initial beside the child’s name on the attendance sheet to verify pick-up. A photo ID is required for an adult (other than the regular parent, guardian, caregiver) to pick up a child.

Before and Aftercare

Noah's Art Studios is pleased to announce that we will be offering before and after care services for both full-day and half-day camp sessions, running Monday through Friday. The before care program begins at 7:00 AM each weekday and ends at 6:00 PM. We kindly ask that children bring their own breakfasts and lunches for the day, although snacks will be available. Bringing lunch is preferred to ensure that each child has a meal they enjoy.

​

Parents must schedule before and aftercare either before or during the week of camp. Payment for the week is required before care begins. The cost for before care is $50, with the earliest drop-off at 7:00 AM. Aftercare is $60, with the latest pick-up at 6:00 PM. Parents can drop off children up to 15 minutes before class starts without needing to pay for before care. However, a late pick-up fee of $25 will be charged for any child not picked up on time. Parents who do not pay for before and aftercare services are only permitted to drop off their children 15 minutes early or pick them up 15 minutes late.
