Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing, if not outright terrible, experiences I have ever…read morehad simply trying to book a trial art lesson for a child. Beforehand, I specifically explained over the phone that we were looking for someone familiar with children with special needs and asked whether the studio could accommodate that with a teacher , where they booked us with someone named Mrs A. They confirmed the trial lesson and booked the appointment and were very positive. Yet when my family arrived, the teacher said she had no idea that my sister had special needs or that we had provided any information about her in advance. The lesson itself was even worse. For approximately 35 minutes, the teacher mostly sat next to my 11-year-old sister with her arms crossed, barely interacting with her. She showed no warmth, friendliness, or enthusiasm. There was no smile, no effort to make her feel welcome, and not even basic questions such as, "What's your favorite color?" My sister, who is the child and has social development challenges, was practically the one prompting the teacher to speak and interact with her. It should have been the other way around. Even if the studio truly failed to give the teacher the information we had provided, that does not excuse her behavior. You should not need advance notice of a child's disability to show basic human decency, kindness, patience, or friendliness toward an 11-year-old child. Any teacher working with children should know how to introduce herself, smile, ask a few simple questions, and make a child feel comfortable. Instead, she acted visibly uncomfortable and made almost no effort to connect with my sister. The teacher did not even properly introduce herself until about 15 minutes into the trial lesson, which is just plain ridiculous. My family eventually ended the lesson early because she was simply sitting there and making virtually no effort to engage. Even as they left, her response was basically, "Okay, goodbye." It is completely unacceptable for a studio to say it can accommodate a child with special needs, fail to communicate the information provided to the teacher, and then treat the child with such coldness and discomfort when she arrives. The entire experience was awkward, unwelcoming, and honestly shameful. I would not recommend this studio at all. **Wow after reading the other google reviews it seems like they have a track record of treating children with special needs like dirt.

This business did a camp at our kids school and had to be supervised at the end of camp as the…read moreemployees were acting in manners so inconsistent with the schools values that the administrator and teachers did not feel comfortable leaving the instructors with the kids. The instructors were yelling at the kids to the point teachers were hearing it throughout the school. The instructors kept making statements about the kids not looking at them like "they were stupid" or "dont act like you're stupid." What made it even worse was this employees behavior was excused and the owner said she was regretful. This behavior shows prejudice and is not a simple mistake when the instructors make this statement over and over for a 6 hour class.
