Hours: 9am - 4pm with the possibility of before and after care based on interest.

TUITION LEVELS (new for 2026)
Dot Art offers multiple tuition levels to keep programs accessible while covering the real costs of operating a high-quality, small-group summer program. This approach allows families to select a level that reflects their household income while helping ensure Dot Art can continue serving the community for years to come.
These levels allow Dot Art to remain fair, accessible, and sustainable for years to come.
Tuition levels are selected using an honor system. We trust families to choose the level that best fits their household.
