Karen makes everything and anything fun. The kids feel so welcome and loved. My favorite times are all of the moments but especially spending time in senior living homes with the children. The moments there i feel teach empathy and shows kids that caring for others can be the best thing ever. I highly recommend taking any classes with Art from the Heart. Magical Memories!!

In 13 years of celebrating 3 children birthdays yearly, this was one of the best Birthday parties we have experienced. Karen planned out every detail to perfection, the house was inviting and decorated, the tea party room looked absolutely amazing! The table was laid out with pretty tea cups and saucers and fairy creamers and daisy teapots and dainty figurines. It was truly special. She even incorporated my daughters favorite color and theme into the party. The girls got to choose fancy hats and feathery boas, there was dancing and singing and celebrating, It was all so enchanting! Karen has a true gift for these little people, she was very skill full in keeping the focus on the Birthday Girl and truly celebrating my Daughters special day! I highly recommend Art from the Heart for your next Birthday Celebration!

Even though Luca was here for a short time, the staff took the time to learn about him in advance so he was set up for success on day one. They went out of their way to accommodate his nutritional needs. He participated in a lot of fun activities and we got updates and pictures so we knew what he as up to which was both fun and reassuring. And he came home happy every day!

Hope 4 Kids is an exceptional school and Teresa (program director) and Cherie (the head of school)…read morehave built something amazing in Santa Barbara. We had to spend three months in Santa Barbara in 2019 for family reasons, and wanted to take advantage of the time there to let our 19 month old get socialized in a pre-school. We live in LA, so naturally compared Hope 4 Kids to some of the places we've looked at in LA, like CEE, Christopher Robin, and numerous other really nice, 'fancy' pre-schools. Hope 4 Kids is nicer than them all, and provides an amazing foundation for kids to learn. The 'outdoor education project' approach of the school has led the school to build an incredible outdoor classroom, and the kids are always engaged and having fun while learning, mostly in the outdoors. Teresa's enthusiasm for this outdoor classroom initiative is contagious, and from the moment we were introduced to the school we were certain that it was a great choice for our son. The faculty/student ratio is really low, and every teacher and teacher's aide we met was highly engaged and held to a really high standard of care for the kids and professionalism. We love this school and were so sad to leave Santa Barbara and H4K. It's an amazing place. (please also note that we are not particularly religious - this school is affiliated with a church, but operates on basic human principles of a respect for others and the beautiful world around us)

She has genuine interest in each child and their unique needs and personality. My daughters developed a great affection for her and the special enrichment persons and activities that she carefully selected and introduced into their lives.

The teachers were motivated, caring and attentive. The kids learned something new every day. They "graduated" to upper campus in fall of 2023. Both girls had wonderful experiences. Some other parents asked about the turnover amongst the staff. Admin has such clear goals and expectations, and they do such a good job vetting their staff that turnover was hardly even noticed. The new staff slotted right in, continuing the existing program with no disruptions to the kids' schedules. And each new member was a wonderful addition to my girls' lives. Both of our girls entered TK well above grade level in their numeracy and literacy skills. And it's not like her parents are geniuses. We cannot recommend Learning Den highly enough.
