In addition, we use correct terminology when identifying body parts with children and have a “no secrets” policy. Children can choose how they wish to greet people and demonstrate affection. We encourage children to understand that they are the “boss of their body” and that it’s not okay for anyone to touch their private parts with the exception of their doctor for a needed examination.  No instructor, staff, volunteer or other adult working at The Art Garage will be left alone with a child. In case of a potty accident, illness, or if a change of clothes is needed, two staff members will be present to help direct the child in the steps needed to change their clothes and clean their body. Our Administration is trained in body safety and abuse prevention.  All staff and instructors are mandated reporters by the state should abuse be suspected. **What are The Art Garage’s discrimination policies?** Hate has no home at The Art Garage.
