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!

This place is amazing! My 6 year old went to a fidget making/ slime camp today and had a blast. He came home with a cute box filled with diy fidgets, made new friends and was super happy. Very impressed with the space - so clean and very modern!

My 5 year was a little apprehensive about the camp. But from the time we entered the Kidscreate studio, he was all excited! The ambience and friendly staff eased us in to the day. He was engaged in the camps and enjoyed their activities. I really loved their flexible scheduling, gave us freedom to select dates and time...

We did a summer morning camp (“clay and canvas”) for my creative 6 year old and he loved it! The staff was warm, welcoming, and kind and projects were set out ready to go at drop off (so organized!). My son brought home a clay and a canvas creation each day and was so proud! His birthday was also that week and I c...

Ms. Nes (aka Ms. Mess, which I thought was charming!!) is a wonderful teacher. My student enjoyed her class each week with her, trying new things, getting messy, and learning about different materials.

Love all the classes Kid Create has to offer, my daughter always makes such fun things and has a blast in class. The new studio is fantastic too! Highly recommend for any of your art-loving kiddos out there.

An absolute gem - not sure why I hadn’t heard of this place sooner! As a mom who loves the idea of doing art projects with her son, but doesn’t want to do all the prep and clean up for it, this is a perfect solution! We created two fun projects in our 45 minute class, and then got to leave the mess for someone else...

This was our first time here and we did the date night bunny painting. The staff is very friendly and my daughter had a great time. This is such a fun option for the kids because they get a night out with other kids as well, will definitely be taking more classes in the future
