You’re struggling with:

  • Worrying that your child isn't being creative enough and needs more exciting things to do

  • Not knowing what activities will engage their interest and which supplies are appropriate for their age

  • Being scared your child is not learning important problem-solving and critical-thinking skills

Hi! I'm Hilary!

Our curriculum includes science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) to make learning fun. Kids love it!

We use the Creative Crafting Curriculum.

This curriculum has been developed by a team of experts including an architect, engineer, occupational therapist, and play therapist. It has been tested and proven successful in over 5,000 clubs. So, there's no need to look for other arts and crafts programs.

You can rest easy at night knowing that your child is receiving the best creative activities that will prepare them for the future.

We understand that time and money are valuable resources, that's why our lessons combine elements from five different clubs: crafting, art, music, clay work, and STEAM-based learning (which includes science, technology, engineering, art, and math).

In our club, your child will develop all of the skills below in an engaging, hands-on way!

  • Fine Motor Skills

  • Problem-solving Skills

  • Innovation

  • Self-expression

  • Social Skills

  • Self-esteem

  • Time Management and Planning Skills

  • STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Skills

See what others are saying about our curriculum!

The fact that the curriculum was developed by an architect, engineer, occupational therapist, and artist is just amazing.

The benefits of the lessons to a child's developmental skills blow my mind!

Claudi, Mom

What a wonderful activity for my 4-year-old son to partake in. It really sparks his creativity.

The Occupational Therapy reasoning (provided to parents about the activity post class) allows you to understand the super-skills being practiced through each creative class.

Sarah, Mom

We make cool crafts that can DO STUFF. Like rockets that can shoot and cars that drive.

Sometimes we work with cardboard, and other times with paint or with clay, and that's why I love this club.

Lucas, Student (9)

Have questions? Let us answer them for you...

Do I have to buy the supplies?

No. The supplies are included with the cost of registration.

How big are the classes?

We feel it is important that everyone receives special attention; therefore, all classes are typically kept to a maximum of 10 students.

What do I bring to class?

We provide all the supplies, materials, and an apron. All you need to do is bring a good attitude and an open mind. 

What do I wear?

The classes tend to get messy and could result in paint or other damage to personal items or clothing. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to wear old clothes. We provide an apron. We are not responsible for any damages.

What if a class is cancelled?

In the rare case that a class may be canceled, you will be notified as soon as possible, and your class will be rescheduled.
