Meet the Owner
Bekki Vonderohe Dube
Bekki began working with children in high school and fell in love with their excitement to learn. She began her first business when she was 21, teaching children dance and gymnastics. During this time, she graduated from Augsburg College with a degree in education. Then, in 2008 her family opened a Primrose School, where she continued her passion for educating children. Both of her children attended the school since they were 2 and 1 years of age. Her daughter, Alaina, now 18, will be joining her on this Kidcreate journey! Art is Alainaโs passion and she works in the child center at their church. They are thrilled to bring Kidcreate to the children of their community!
Bekki will be bringing her on-the-go art studio to communities near you and she encourages your kids to put on an apron and get mess! After all, making a mess is the best at Kidcreate!

How our story
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 art classes 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!
