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!

They threw an amazing birthday party for my kiddo! They were super organized, very friendly, and kept the kids in line and on pace without making anything seem overwhelming. It was truly a great experience - all the kids had a blast!

I can't say enough good things about this place! I am really thankful that I found out about Kidcreate in our neighbourhood soon after our family moved to Houston. My son and daughter have both equally enjoyed attending the day camps and one off art classes that the studio has on offer. The staff are all exceptionally ...

My kids had so much fun at kidscreate studio! They got to let their creative juices flow and I didn't have to clean up the mess!
— Heidi Schweickhardt, Posted October 28th 2023 on google
My son loved going to a once a week art class. The teachers were warm and welcoming and my kiddo had the pleasure of getting to use supplies we don't normally get to use at home in a way that created beautiful pieces of art!

We had our daughter's 6th birthday party here. We invited her entire kindergarten class (not all could attend). We specifically wanted to do a creative birthday party that could accommodate her whole class. We all enjoyed it so much! The staff was so friendly and helpful, and communicated really well throughout the en...

My kids have done quite a few classes at Kidcreate. I would like to see more consistency with teachers when the same class is being taught (2 Saturday’s in a row) but often the teachers do most of the work which is super disappointing to my kids and they dismiss them early too. If the class is 1.5 hours, use it, don�...

Our family LOVES Kidcreate! Just had a birthday party here and everything was phenomenal. The staff take care of everything and they went above and beyond to ensure our birthday girl, all her guests, had a wonderful time!

We had our daughter’s 5th birthday party here. Everything from beginning to end was a very easy process. The staff members were very kind and helpful with the kids. They provided napkins, plates, cups free of charge. All of the kids drew/signed a large birthday poster for our daughter to take home in addition to her ...

My daughter had her birthday party here and loved it! I was most impressed by the staff who was extremely helpful and kind! I was a little worried since we only had 15 minutes for the setup but they already had some balloons and a cute birthday sign setup. They also helped me to setup and take down all of my decoratio...

We had our daughter’s birthday party here recently and I highly recommend!! The place was clean, well organized, and the staff was super friendly! They were able to handle a big group of 2nd graders and guide them into creating a beautiful masterpiece! Thank you! ☺️

Great staff and my daughter loved every moment!

Popped in for a weekday art class with my toddler and had a lovely time on a rainy day.

I have used Kidcreate Mobile Studio the past two years and have had amazing experiences both times. Kenerly is an absolutely joy to work with. She comes up with age appropriate art ideas that are themed to your party. The experience is personalized and makes your kiddo feel extra special at their party with a birthday ...
