How our story
began

Once upon a time,
There was a kindergartner who was frustrated by spelling, but loved art!
So it began...

Founder, Lara Olson, started Kidcreate Studio after being discouraged by the limited art exposure her son was receiving at school. In art class, he found tremendous joy in the creative process and none of the frustrations he was experiencing in some of his other classes.

Lara understood this. She too gravitated toward art as a child. Lara believed in the power of art to teach, inspire and build self-esteem. She also understood that art makes learning fun and a fun learning environment was exactly what her son needed. Lara started a quest for art classes for her son. She searched in vain for an art studio designed just for kids that combined quality art education with a fun kid-friendly environment. Finding nothing that met her requirements, she decided to create it!

Kidcreate Studio was born!

My daughter had her birthday here and she said it was the best day ever. She got to paint and play with slime and had a ball. The staff was very friendly and took care of everything. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend for your kids birthday party! We had the whole studio to ourselves. The space is big and really bright. The staff did a great job from greeting all of our guests, leading the craft, and interacting with all of the kids. They give a 5 star experience. Lots of other parents remarked on how great of a tim...

We had a wonderful experience at KidCreate at my 5 year old's birthday party! The staff was helpful, flexible, and great at keeping the kids happy and entertained. Everything is so personalized -- my daughter was able to pick what music she wanted to listen to, decorate a happy birthday sign with her name, and we broug...

Love this place for birthdays - they take care of almost everything, all you need to do is show up and bring any food. I had a 9 year old's party there and it was so easy - craft, cake, games and done! Highly recommend if you want something fun and easy on parents.

This is the place we've been looking 4. My 8 year old granddaughter loves interaction with the staff . It gives her socialization with the other children.

I rarely leave reviews but just thought it was worth saying that we love Kidcreate - Woodbury. We've attended a Thanksgiving and Grinchmas workshop and have loved the instructors and felt that the craft levels were very age-appropriate for our 3 year old. Could you do them at home? Absolutely. Is the $20 worth it? YES!...

My 5 year old daughter LOVED her morning at Kidcreate Art Studio in Alexandria. When I picked her up, she was over the moon about her creations and asking to come back every week. I'd say that's a winner. The art is nice too, which is a plus :) They worked with different media and forms - forming clay reliefs, painting...
