Darcy and my mother go to high chair art every Tuesday. I don't know which one of them gets more out of it. Darcy is learning and developing her fine motor and listening skills. My mom is learning about new artists and bonding with her granddaughter. Its great! Every Tuesday night my mom, husband and I have an auction and bid on who gets to keep Darcy's amazing art form that week. Last weekend the studio had a little workshop. My husband and I got to check it out and see what happens when we are at work. It was so wonderful to see Darcy light up when we arrived. And next month they are hosting a silhouette artist. This is a keepsake I always dreamed of having if i ever had a child. What a wonderful jewel in the community. We are so lucky to have this. I highly recommend kidcasso if you have a little one in your life. The arts are so important. How wonderful to have something affordable and accessible in our community!

I bring my 4 year old and 2 year old during school closures to their Art Sense class. It is…read moreperfect, because they both can be there together. They both really enjoy the class and my 4 year old always ask when we can go to the next art class. The class is 45 minutes long, but I would say the first 10-15 minutes is free play where they set up a few art inspired stations for the kids to explore, approximately 20 minutes of more structured art class, then 10 minutes for clean up and story time. The -1 comes from two things... 1 - It can be costly to do drop in classes for both kids. It is $35/kid, though they do give a 20% sibling discount, so it is $63/2 kids, plus the $2 service from the site vs. $100/month/kid which would be equivalent to approximately $25/class. It is a way more affordable to enroll monthly but they do not offer Art Sense classes over the weekend so it is not really supportive of kids that attend school during the week. It would be nice if they had an option to buy X amount of classes upfront at the $25/rate that could be used amongst multiple children. We've tried other art classes in neighboring towns and I would say Kidcasso is probably at the higher price point. 2 - This only happened once but there was one class where the teacher did not show the end product upfront for the kids. I am not sure if this was intentional to allow creative freedom but for one of my kids that appreciates a bit more structure to build confidence, I could tell she was more cautious and waiting to see what other kids were doing or asking me for some guidance. The other times when she knew what the end goal was she was more confident creating her artwork and leverage her creative freedom to still create something that was hers. For my other child, she did not care because she doesn't follow rules/directions anyways. It didn't impact the experience for my children, but it was something that was noticeable for one of my children in how they approached that specific art class.

She was enrolled in a week of theater and multiple weeks of art instruction with a wide array of art classes to choose from.

My daughter had a great time, the staff was fantastic, they offered before and after care which was critical for us working full time and we were incredibly pleased by the overall experience. We re-enrolled for February vacation, are planning for summer camp, and see ourselves as lasting patrons for the years to come.

We could have spent the whole day just getting lost in the arts and crafts and what we were trying to create. The support from the instructorswas really great, and when we got our final pieces back, every single one of us was thrilled and loved how they turned out. We all said we have to go back, because now that we know things we didn't know before, we want to come in and expand our skills. Our group came from all different backgrounds, and locations, and what really brought us together in joy, happiness, collaboration, and camaraderie was supporting our creative sides in this wonderfully safe place.

After working a brief stint as a gallery director, I know first hand how poorly other school prepare you for the "real world." The only two submission packages which I received, in the three months with TemporaryGallery, that showed any sense of professionalism were from MCAers (they will remain nameless, as they both are very humble and get rosy over compliments). But I don't only have to compare the school to others to note why I love it: Scott Hadfield, Barbara Moody, Luara Tonelli, Marjorie Augenbraum, and the list goes on. Small class sizes and great teachers make this school. Every teacher gives a new a fresh perspective, none jaded by the years of professing. OH I CAN'T FORGET LEN! Len is amazing
