Kristen Olosky, Kidcreate Studio - Dana Point

For years, Kristen fundraised for schools and educational non-profits, contributing to the quality of education and making a difference in kids lives. When she decided to make her dream of being an entrepreneur a reality, she was thrilled to find Kidcreate Studio, offering quality art education in a super kid-friendly environment. She is excited to bring California's first Kidcreate Studio to the beautiful, beachside city of Dana Point.

Kristen welcomes you and your children to visit the studio, put on an apron and create. After all, making a mess is the best at Kidcreate!

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!

Great party! Staff handled everything. Kept 12 children occupied with no problem. Everyone had a great time. Would definitely recommend having a birthday party with them.

Forex and Crypto trading have really changed my financial life and I owe everything to MRS. Cathy Frederick who helped me manage my trading account. Mrs. Cathy Frederick has good trading signals and techniques that help you win whenever you trade. I invested $600 and made a profit of $7,200 within 7 days. This is the ...

Kidcreate Studio did a mobile party at my house for my daughter's 7th birthday. We had a big group of 15 kids and the two teachers from KidCreate did a wonderful job. The owner delivered tables and chairs that we rented from them before our party started and picked them up after the party was over. They are fantastic a...

Our 9-year old daughter really wanted to do something art and crafty for her birthday, and we weren't quite happy with other OC south county art-related businesses. From the moment we started communicating with Kidcreate the communication was great. On the day of the event the staff was very aware of our needs, accom...

A+ The nicest owner and teachers! Highly recommend for birthday parties!

Kidcreate has become our favourite place over the last 12 months and I couldn’t recommend it enough! We stumbled upon Kidcreate before it opened (pre COVID) and signed up our daughter for a trial for their opening. The pandemic hit and Kristen (the owner) and her team have been incredible to ensure each little artist...

Great art class for kids. Staff is super friendly and helpful, and always very clean. My kids loved all the art projects we did, and so nice when the mess isn’t at your house! Would definitely recommend this place!

Kristin and her team of creators are awesome! They were able to accommodate a very last minute decision for a private party, and they delivered a great experience! Facilities were clean and covid compliant. Cant wait to check out more of their fun classes they have for the kiddos!

My kids and I absolutely love this Art Studio! They beg me to go back every week! I love all the themes they come up and the multiple was to create art based on that theme. My kids so far have painted, sculpted, colored, glued, cut and made some fun foam! The owner and all the other art teachers there are so friendly, ...

Have gone to the Kid Create Dana Point studio a few times and have loved it. My 2 yo son loves making art and the stories that go along with it. Well paced and easy enough for him to follow along. Hoping they open a studio in San Diego too!
