Will my child get messy?
Probably! As long as children don’t wear their best clothes, there shouldn’t be a problem as most materials used are washable. But we do suggest they bring one of their dad’s old shirts when they first come, as it is easy to put on and it protects most clothes from possible damage.

 

How do we pay?
Artivities and language classes are paid for in full at the beginning of each month. Classes missed may be made up at any suitable time during that same month.

 

When are you open?
Lola is open Monday to Friday (excluding Tuesdays) from 11am to 6pm, and on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm (afternoons are reserved for Birthday Parties). We open on Sunday mornings if a workshop is taking place that day (please check under Workshops for more details).

Please check the schedule for more detailed times, and for information on all classes and groups.

 

How old do my children have to be to come to Lola?
There is no minimum or maximum age for the open studio…if you feel your child will be interested in making a complex rocket with you, or simply glueing tissue paper to a box, then all kids are welcome, be they 18 months or 14 years old!

 

Will my child learn English grammar structures with you?
Probably not in the way that you think. At Lola we believe in nourishing children’s creativity and imagination. Yes, they must always speak in English during Artivities classes and are corrected whenever they make mistakes… and yes they will be learning a whole variety of new vocabulary and sentence structures every day…and yes, they will become rapidly more confident in communicating in English and expressing their ideas and points of view. But, no. They will not sit down to do grammar exercises….

At Lola we believe in thinking outside the box.

Older children will be encouraged to improve and expand their knowledge of the English language through drama, poetry, stories and critical thinking. At the same time they will continue to nourish their creative sides, be it by building a ship, designing a chair or dabbling with a cartoon.
