What Parents Say...	Back To Top
“The work Max does now is so different from what he did at the beginning of the year that it is hard to believe it is the same child. I just had a conference with his classroom (school) teacher, and she said Max’s attention to detail is amazing. His spatial relations and everything have really improved. Everyday Max asks, ‘Do we have art today?’ He really likes it. I wish they would have had this when I was a kid.” Illyssa Demare, Naperville, Ill "KidzArt®* classes have been an inspiration to my daughter Lindsy. She now says she wants to use art in her career when she grows up."* Lindsy's mom "We are so happy that we signed Sarah up for KidzArt®. She has gained so much confidence from her lessons with you. We also have seen this confidence come out in her grades at school and in trying new things. We have told other parents about you and KidzArt® and will continue to. Thank you for this program and thank you for bringing it to the Waxhaw community." Chris and Lisa Longhurst, Waxhaw, NC "This (KidzArt®) class has allowed my son to view drawing in a new light. It has given him confidence to try to draw more complex pictures, where before he would be intimidated to not even try. He has a new outlook on his ability to draw." Mother of 5th Grader, Columbus, OH
What Principals Say...	Back To Top
"KidzArt® has been an exciting. enriching and important part of our after-school program. It's a joy to see the children practicing their drawing skills in a calm and supportive environment. The classes are always full because the children are having fun while learning! Many of our children have been taking KidzArt® classes for several years. KidzArt® brings a new dimension and compliments our own art program as well. I wholeheartedly endorse KidzArt® as an art program that works!" Principal Ann Kalayjian - St. Patrick's Elem. Marin County, California
What Recreation Facilitators Say...	Back To Top
“It (KidzArt®) has been very popular. We have a lot of pompoms, glitter and glue in our Y programs, but this is much more than crafts. It is very advanced instruction. The kids are very excited by the end of the class to see that they could draw the picture. Each lesson they get better and better and gain such confidence in their abilities. We just finished a session at one school, and parents are begging to sign their kids up again.” Tanille Baaske, Senior Program Director, Heritage YMCA Children Development Center, Naperville, Ill
What Community Leaders Say...	Back To Top
"The KidzArt® concept will fulfill a void that may exist in the education of our children. By providing an opportunity to learn while having fun, the children will grow into adults that understand "art is for all ages." By design, this program will encourage children to be creative and expressive through art....It is with confidence that I encourage the introduction of the KidzArt® program to the children of Arizona. It is truly a remarkable educational tool." Senator Mary Hartley - Arizona State Senate
