The Early Childhood Programs are an integral part of Forest Lake Area Schools (FLAS). We work together to assure that children transition smoothly into kindergarten.
The program offers before and after school childcare, non-school days (NSD) and summer childcare. Fees are listed in the current fee schedule online. The program opens at 6am and closes at 6pm.
Have you ever wanted to paint beautiful flowers but thought it would be too hard? Alcohol ink painting is more abstract which gives you the freedom to paint without rules. You will learn the basics of alcohol ink while learning to create flower petals by blowing ink with an airbrush. You’ll get to practice on a 6” x 6” white tile; the ink wipes clear using isopropyl alcohol. Once you feel comfortable creating petals, you will create a flower on the tile using the colors of your choice. You will also learn to create flower centers and then paint flowers on both white and black plastic paper. A supply fee of $15 is due at class.
"Kay is a fun instructor and super supportive. Love her!" Sarah, Whimsical Fish, Winter 2023
"Excellent class! Kay was amazing, helpful and cheerful." LeeAnn, Alcohol Ink Ornaments, Fall 2022
After retiring early and looking forward to traveling Covid hit and Kay needed a new hobby to engage her time. She watched endless hours of Alcohol Ink videos and started making cute pictures of animals but really did not know what she was doing. Kay then took an online Alcohol Ink (AI) class to learn how to make flowers and she was hooked. The possibilities of working with AI are endless and Kay is loving the journey.
At first, Kay made AI paintings for herself but soon her friends and neighbors started asking to see and her art. With encouragement, Kay explored new techniques and styles and is so excited to share her original paintings.
