Juline McLean
With over 15 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, Juline decided it was time to trade in the traditional classroom for something spectacular that would let her have more time with her family—and still do what she loves! After much research, Juline discovered Kidcreate Studio—a place that perfectly blended her passion for early childhood education with her love for creativity and hands-on learning. She was immediately captivated by the opportunity to bring art-based learning and messy science experiments to children in a fun and exciting way!
With the support of her husband, Elisha, who brings years of experience in Sales & Marketing (both in the corporate world and non-profit sector), the dynamic duo is excited to bring a world of educational fun to Frederick County families!
Juline 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
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!
