Jeff & Isabel Dobier
Jeff and Isabel are a father and daughter team starting their first business together.
Jeff spent 27 years as a finance professional, but always wanted to be an entrepreneur since he was a kid, and later to be involved in a family business with his daughters. After much research, Jeff and Isabel found the Kidcreate Studio franchise, which was a perfect match for both of their interests. He has two adult daughters and two grandchildren and loves seeing how they show their love and creativity for art and science, and wants to bring that to kids and adults everywhere.
Isabel managed a clothing store and a salon for a few years after she graduated high school in Saint Paul, but she has always been interested in pursuing a career in art. She has a passion for creativity and loves to spend time with kids, including her niece and nephew. Isabel is ecstatic to have the opportunity to share her love of art with the community that she grew up in.
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!

We signed our son up for two of the date night classes. He loved both classes and didn't want to leave. He says, "best art classes ever!" Thank you Kidcreate for the fun for him and the date night for us!— Leah Hill, Posted November 20th 2025 on google
This was our 2nd date night art class and our kiddo always has an amazing time.— Carissa Dressen, Posted November 17th 2025 on google
They made my son feel very comfortable when he was nervous about me leaving and when he came home was so excited to go back again.— Tamara Ward, Posted October 22nd 2025 on google
The front desk staff is very welcoming and patient with parents and kids. The art teacher is extremely positive and encouraging, and so excited for every child in the class and their ability to create. We will definitely be continuing to take classes here.— Becky Streeter, Posted October 13th 2025 on google
My son enjoyed his four day art camp! He is particularly wriggly and even did fine with four FULL days. Half days might have been better, but he was a trooper. The projects were fun and he liked them. The staff was great! Handled any issues kindly and promptly.— A. Canavan, Posted September 5th 2025 on google
Would recommend for birthday parties, was a great experience. They even wrote a list of the gifts given and who gave them. Details were great!— Hannah Nicol, Posted August 30th 2025 on google

My child attended a 4 day sparkle science camp this summer, and had a great time. They were a bit nervous to go, as it was their first summer camp experience, but came home with really cool crafts and a smile on their face every day. They made friends, and the teachers were friendly and kind and good with the kids. I l...— アンドレアありさ, Posted August 3rd 2025 on google

Fun time for kiddo! We recently signed up for a 3 hour art (clay) class and found the place well setup, friendly, and fun. I liked the mixed aged yet small group (10 kids total) and my daughter enjoyed it.— Irina Woldeab, Posted February 18th 2025 on google

We had the best experience with our daughter's birthday party at Kidcreate! She and her good buddies are all arts and crafts lovers, so it was the perfect spot for the little artists.

Ms. Nes (aka Ms. Mess, which I thought was charming!!) is a wonderful teacher. My student enjoyed her class each week with her, trying new things, getting messy, and learning about different materials.— Ronny Bradtke, Posted May 30th 2024 on google
