Fine Arts Preschool Clothing Policy
At the beginning of the year, please send clearly labeled slippers and an oversized, button down art shirt to the Preschool. These will be kept at the studio throughout the year and returned in April. Children will remove outside shoes upon arrival and be bare foot or wear slippers depending on the classes throughout the day. For art class, an oversized button down shirt is best to also assist in fine motor coordination and button skills.
On the days your child is scheduled to dance, please send them to Preschool in suitable dance clothes. Students may wear a leotard and footless tights, footless unitard or leggings, sweatpants, athletic or biker shorts, or a unitard. Dance clothing should be washed each week. Each day please send clothing appropriate for outside weather, including boots in winter. Although children will not routinely have an outside playtime, classes may take walks, so appropriate dress is important.
