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.

From the moment class starts to the very end, she keeps them entertained, and learning through art. I love that it's a pretty hands-off experience for parents -- Ms. Sally takes care of everything, even have the kids wash their hands at the end! It's such a fun, creative class, and my toddler always leaves happy! And the best part? You can leave the artwork there to dry and pick it up later -- they'll even store it for up to a month, which is so thoughtful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed, creative outlet for their little one!

I was extremely disappointed with the customer service at North Shore Glass School. I booked a…read moreglass blowing experience online for my child and me while planning our trip to Salem. When our plans changed slightly, I called multiple times to reschedule, left several voicemails, and never received a single response. Since we were already in town, we stopped by in person. They agreed to let us participate in a demonstration and told us they would mail the pumpkin we made since it needed time to cool. They took our mailing address--but the pumpkin never arrived. The entire experience felt disorganized and disingenuous. Communication was virtually nonexistent from start to finish, and promises made in person were never followed through on. I would not recommend booking here, especially if you're traveling from out of town and need any flexibility with your plans. Customer service and follow-through matter just as much as the experience itself, and unfortunately, this business fell well short on both.

You buy a few supplies, but most of it can be found at the center including a lot of scrap glass that is perfect for your first projects.

After that I figured we would stick to different art centers.

The first time I went to a Mom's Village when they were renting out a studio, I didn't know what to expect but I had felt so isolated as a new mother and wanted to work on getting a piece of myself back. I was also nervous about leaving my daughter, who was only 1 at the time, with anyone but family. I gave it a chance anyway and I am so happy I did. Never once did I worry about my daughter being safe and cared for by the childcare at the Village. The fitness classes have always pushed me and given me the variety I like- offering barre, kickboxing, HIIT, yoga, among others. The instructors are always helpful with modifications, while making sure you are getting the challenge you want/need. To have the amenities to go take a shower in peace or sit in the mommy lounge to have a hot cup of coffee while socializing without any interruptions is priceless. The community that has been built by Steph, Cindy and Lindsey can not be beat- it's mom supporting moms and enjoying this time of our lives together. I am forever grateful to have found this place.
