Brian and Jennifer Collins , Kidcreate Studio - Houston (Greater Heights)

Meet the Owners

Brian and Jennifer Collins

Brian and Jennifer Collins are a dynamic duo! Both are wearing the many hats a working couple and parents of small boys wear. Like many other parents, they feel the key to any successful home and fruitful future is to plan.

That is precisely what Jennifer and Brian did when it was time for their two boys, Preston and Mason, to begin Elementary School. After Brian received his Executive MBA from Rice University, his entrepreneurial desires ignited. They began to explore further the idea of owning a small business in their community. They decided to combine Jennifer's superpowers gained from 13 years in corporate America, four years as a Preschool Director, and years of motherhood to open Houston's first Kidcreate Studio! The two are an excellent fit for this adventure; each of their strengths blends well together. Jennifer is the creative master, handling all the Studio's operations. Brian uses his Airforce, International Corporate experience, and MBA to fine-tune Jennifer's ever-growing imagination.

Translating their passion, personalities, and energy into their Kidcreate Studio will come naturally for the Collins', allowing kids to learn through fun experiences and art with enthusiastic teachers.

Collins' welcome 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!

We had a wonderful party for my daughter this weekend! Starting from the booking experience, Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure we knew that our original weekend we planned might be a busy weekend at the Stomping Grounds might and suggested alternatives (really appreciate that she was candid about that!). The d...

My family first encountered kidcreate through a birthday party (for a 6 year old) We then got to enjoy the crafts at a community event they sponsored. I cannot speak highly enough about their energetic, caring, patient team that encourage and motivate my kids to enjoy, create, and have fun with art! The after school pr...

Your kids will love the fun and creative atmosphere and the energetic teachers who encourage creativity. Try a parents night out and enjoy dinner at one of the restaurants downstairs while your kids have a blast! Your kids won't want to leave.

We just had our second birthday party at KidCreate and it was great. If you are looking for a party where you don't have to plan, this is it! The staff took care of everything and I just brought the birthday boy and the cake. Every parent there said it was a great party for the kids and the parents (since we didn't hav...

We are relatively new to Kidcreate and are already sold! My friend and I were looking for something our VERY active toddler boys could do together and this is such a fun win for us! Jack is our favorite instructor - so patient and sweet with the kids, you can tell he genuinely just loves being around them and watchin...

I can't say enough good things about this place! I am really thankful that I found out about Kidcreate in our neighbourhood soon after our family moved to Houston. My son and daughter have both equally enjoyed attending the day camps and one off art classes that the studio has on offer. The staff are all exceptionally ...

We recently had our daughter's birthday party here, and I don't know who enjoyed it more; the kids or the parents! It was the easiest birthday party we've ever had, PLUS we had the opportunity to relax and enjoy some appetizers and drinks at one of the restaurants at the Stomping Ground. Can't recommend this venue fo...

We had my daughter's 5th birthday party here and it was fantastic! The teachers did a great job with the 12 five-year-olds and all the kids completed the project and seemed to have a great time. They helped with passing out food and cleaned up afterward. Would definitely recommend Kidcreate for birthday parties!
— Kayleigh Fischer, Posted June 6th 2023 on google
The staff was wonderful. They did a great job helping me plan my daughter's birthday. On the big day, it was the easiest birthday I've had. The staff managed the entire process even stepping in to setup the decor, and serve the food and cake. It was a seamless experience and the birthday girl and guests had a blast. I ...
