Meet the Owner

Makeeka Harris

When US Army Veteran Makeeka Harris exited the military in 2016, she had two goals: become an entrepreneur and spend as much time as possible with her family. After extensive research, she discovered Kidcreate Studio and was immediately drawn to the fun, family friendly concept. Makeeka enjoys seeing kids having fun, and learning in a positive environment.

Makeeka 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!

My daughter recently had her 6th birthday party at Kidcreate Studio. It was a tea party theme and to make it extra special the girls sculpted and painted their own tea cup and saucer. My daughter said it was the best birthday party ever! Even the moms enjoyed it. Don’t hesitate to have a themed party here. Our day w...

Overall great atmosphere for kids bdays. Family-friendly. Ms.Makitha & her girls are awesome with the work they do. Had my daughter's 6th bday. Glow up. The only thing I recommend is if families have a Glow in Dark theme. I recommend a little darker for Glow in the Dark. Not too much Glow. Try to make it a little dar...

I was searching Google to find a spot to have my 3yo birthday party and found the Kidscreate Studio and decided to stop by to get some information for birthday parties. My very first experience was good and I’m all about first appearances. Good thing I like was that the doors were locked during their night out with t...

I have brought my 5 and 3 year old here for a few classes and we love it so much. We do a lot of art at home but the messy projects are just a lot for me to do regularly, so we do the messy classes here! It’s so much fun, the art works are always well thought out for the age group, and we’ve discovered little thing...

We had my daughter’s birthday party there last weekend. It was a great day and all of the kids had a wonderful time. It was easy and painless for me as well. Zero stress!! The other parents all commented on what a great party venue it was. The staff were cheerful, friendly and engaging. Perfect afternoon!

Great space for kids of different ages. Both of my children have a great time during the drop in days. They always come home with such lovely art and creations. This place helped one of my children find their love for art.

My son and I visited Kidcreate Stuido today. The theme was dinosaurs and my son really enjoyed making a dinosaur egg. The atmosphere and staff are extremely friendly. I’d definitely recommend this place for a fun time with your kids.

My daughter is turning 9 and thanks to covid years, she has no memory of “a real birthday party with all my friends!” in her lifetime. We found this online and she got super excited because she loves making art. She’s in a wolf phase, and loves all thing wolves. They didn’t have a craft that involved wolves, bu...

Oh how we love this place! From birthday parties, summer camps, date night, and weekday classes. We’ve tried them all! Mrs. Makeeka has seen our little family grow. This was my oldest first solo class without us and she LOVED it and not to mention she is shy and quiet. You at least have to try this place once.

We had our girls birthday party, one was turning 7 and the other 4. They both love arts and crafts. Studio was clean and has nice space for creating. We chose to make slime as there activity, which can be very stressful to make at home because of the mess. But it was worry-free and the instructors were very helpful. Th...

I am SO thankful for this place. I cried a little in my car at the thought of leaving my 4 year old somewhere for the first time. I found comfort in the glass door and the windows because I was going to be able to watch him from my car lol. As soon as I walked in, I felt so much better. These ladies are genuinely such ...
