The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Individual Artist Studios, Fashion Design & Creative Mentorship in Monroe. Designed for Ages 4 to 14. Daily activities are well-organized and age-appropriate for Ages 4 to 14, if not especially inventive. (per our Monroe visit, est. 2016) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Solid swim instruction most days; pools are heated and adequately staffed. (per our Monroe visit, est. 2016)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Early Arts), 1:7 (Master Studios). Staffing is adequate for Ages 4 to 14, with enough adult oversight that we didn't have concerns during our visit.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Transportation logistics at ArtHouse Pottery & Stage Academy are functional and mostly on time; catering covers the basics — hot lunch, nut-free policy, afternoon snacks.
Tuition Range: $1690 – $1940 / week
