Shannon Schumacher, Kidcreate Studio - San Antonio

After the birth of her second child, Shannon Schumacher planned to take a year off from her 10-year career in Employee Benefits to stay home. However, after that year was up, she was not sure she wanted to return back to the corporate world. While making slime one day with her oldest daughter, she thought wouldn't it be great if there was a place where kids could go and make slime, paint masterpieces, and flex their creative muscles without fear of making a mess? This small seed took root and continued to grow in her heart. After much research, she and her husband, Stephen, discovered Kidcreate Studio and fell in love with the fun atmosphere, educational concept, and the flexibility it could provide for their family. With San Antonio's artist culture and abundance of young families, they know that this is the perfect place for a Kidcreate Studio and cannot wait to have kids come get messy! 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!

Small Art Studio where your kiddo can explore his/her artistic side. I took my daughter for their evening camp for 3 hours, and as soon as I picked her up she was asking when she could go back again. They kept her entertained by making different projects with paint, clay, and other materials.

My kiddo LOVES Kidscreate. We were looking for a fun indoor summer camp to beat the heat these last few weeks of the summer and this was a HIT! We only planned on one week, and he’s already asking for more weeks and weekends! Thanks for making art so fun for him.

My 12 year old had such a great time. We just moved here from a different state so I was looking for art activities for her. She did a homeschool class. The staff were super friendly and the crafts were great. She did 2 more classes and loved them. Recommend for any age!

Fun class! Awesome teacher! My kids loved it!
— Michaela Carr, Posted May 11th 2023 on google
This is one of the best investments we've made for our family. Bottom line: not having to clean up after we make an art piece is worth it alone. ADD TO THIS: You get to create a stunning piece of artwork with your young one! P.S. My daughter loves Ms. Lilly.

My kid loves going to classes here. So much so that we had her birthday party here, and the kids really enjoyed it. It is so nice to find a place I can take her where I know she will have an amazing time.

My 7-yr-old daughter really enjoyed her full-day spring break camp as well as holiday camp. The facility is well-organized and all teachers are kind and professional. I can't wait to send her upcoming camps!

We took my daughter here for slime date night and she absolutely loved it! She woke up the next morning asking to go back. They made their own slime, pottery and other arts and crafts. Highly recommend for all parents. They have so many different classes and memberships.

We love Kidcreate! My daughter is an art lover and loves to create little masterpieces all around my house. Unfortunately, she doesn't love cleaning up her mess as much. So we get to go and be messy and creative at kid create! The staff are so accommodating and friendly and really do everything they can to make the kid...
