Snack / Food Safety / Food Allergies

• Families may provide a snack and a drink for themselves and/or their child. While HHAS does not typically provide something to eat during morning and daytime classes, parties, events or sessions, snacks and a water bottle are permitted and encouraged. HHAS always have cups and water available. Hudson Heights Art Studio will not be held responsible for any injuries that may occur when children eat or drink at any time.

• In addition, HHAS provides or allows for food and drink during select classes, parties, events or sessions. Hudson Heights Art Studio will not be held responsible for any injuries that may occur when any attendees eat or drink at any time.

• HHAS is a Nut Free Zone! Please do not bring or send your child to our facility with nuts of any kind. Please notify staff if you or your child have any food allergies.

Safety / Behavior Policy

• Cell phones and smart watches are prohibited during class time. Kids may use them to contact parents before or after class, or in the event of an emergency

• All rules and procedures will be outlined in class and reviewed as needed. 

• Masks will be provided for all members if needed 

• There is a strict no-bullying/ no harassment policy at Hudson Heights Art Studio. HHAS is an inclusive and respectful community. All ages, genders, sexual preferences, religions, countries of origin, political and spiritual beliefs will be respected.

• All members agree that they are responsible for the safe handling of tools and materials they use and share. Materials must be used for their intended purposes. All members agree to clean up after themselves, and return all materials to their appropriate place.

• Safe use of materials and safe navigation of our physical space is a priority at HHAS. However, all members agree that injures may occur, and that HHAS will not be held responsible for any injuries. Protective gloves are provided on premises. 

• In our studio, “shopping” for or theft of materials is not allowed. No unused materials may go home. Materials are to be used on the premises of HHAS only.

• Just as in a movie theater, for all students under the age of 18, all subject matter must be rated “G” for General Audiences. A G-rated classroom contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that would offend caregivers or children. No images or discussion of illicit or illegal acts are permitted in our art studio.

• All members understand that images and renditions of the human figure are ubiquitous in the world of art. All children’s books have been screened and edited. In our resource library, renditions of the nude figure may be present in some adult oriented art books. These books are intended for adults, and will never be intentionally shown to children. However, all members understand and agree that exposure to such imagery may occur accidentally, and that Hudson Heights Art Studio will not be held responsible.

• Our bathroom is a busy place! We request that each student be responsible to clean up after themselves, and leave the bathroom in good condition.

At the discretion of the owner, Hudson Heights Art Studio can prohibit a family or child from attending a current or future class/session due to: Refusal to follow our rules and structure, refusal to pay at drop-off or pick-up, refusal to respect the position and responsibilities of the owner/teacher, or any staff member, inappropriate use of materials, theft of materials, disruption to the class, or due to physical or emotional harm caused to another student, teacher or staff member. If you or your child are removed from a class or session you will be entitled to receive a refund for that class, and any scheduled future classes.
