We will closely monitor and adhere to CDC guidelines as well as the CSD school system, where the majority of our students attend. Our staff is required to be vaccinated and to stay up to date with current vaccines. We strongly encourage vaccination for our families, as well. 

Drop off/Pick Up Procedure 

All young artists must be checked in and out through our front desk by a parent/guardian/authorized escort. Authorized escorts must show valid ID upon pick up – even parents! If an escort that is not listed on your form needs to pick up your child, you must notify Color Wheel Studio by email at info@colorwheelstudio.com and they must show a valid photo ID. We cannot release any child to unlisted escorts.
