Kathy is an excellent teacher, putting everyone at ease and reassuring those of us with limited creative impulses. The class size is small--only six students--so Kathy is able to provide lots of one-on-one guidance after her detailed introduction to the materials. I had some hesitation going in and my resulting product looks more like a sea urchin than a wave but I will definitely return for future classes.

That's awesome. They do nature walks, crafts, painting and have fun.

The Pasadena location is in a shopping center with plenty of parking and easily accessible. Once inside the studio, it's beautifully decorated with art samples, shelves of take home art kits, and other goodies. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The studio has many different rooms depending on what workshop is happening at that time. They host classes and events such as (but not limited to) open studio, special events which focus on a theme or specific art, home school, sewing, and digital art. My daughter has visited Artsy Partsy many times throughout the years and each time she comes home with amazing art to showcase. She has been to a few summer camps, individual workshops as well as private sessions. My daughter's school hosted a paint night with Artsy Partsy which turned out to be a hit. Additionally, my daughter's girl scout troop joined Artsy Partsy's 1.5 hour drawing event which covers all the requirements for Juniors to earn the Girl Scout's Drawing Badge. My daughter really enjoys creating art and has gained many skills from Artsy Partsy. Our family will continue refer them to family and friends as well as continue to attend any workshops they host!

I called the dance studio twice (one about six months ago when I was shopping for dance studios in…read morethe area for my daughter and again just this week because I was unhappy with the one I chose only because it was closest to my work). Both times the owner answered and she was extremely personable and answered all of my questions without hesitation or a drop of sarcasm-- nothing! I found out everything I needed to know while I was on the phone with her and that alone was a good experience. She allowed me to do a free drop in for my daughter to try it out and see if it would be a good fit. It turned out to be great, especially after leaving the alternate/other dance studio I had just left and was disappointed with. The studio is cute and nicely updated on the inside. The instructors were happy to be there. My daughter enjoyed herself-- I will be returning. They even offer drinks that you can buy from a fridge in their lobby, which is a plus for me! Oh, and you can watch your child from large screens posted in the lobby. Score! :)

Mary Poppins has landed in Crofton and her name is Mrs. Sing!…read more Denise Singh, affectionately and aptly known as "Mrs. Sing" around these parts, is the owner of Mrs. Sing's Kidsmusicart. Classes are offered in Bowie, Crofton, College Park, and Alexandria. The Crofton Center opened just last year in an office building that's adjacent to the pond where the snakehead fish was found a few years ago (remember that?). The program occupies two immaculately-clean suites which Mrs. Sing has divided into three classrooms, a snack/play area, and a waiting area. There are also two spotless bathrooms. Mrs. Sing and her staff's commitment to children is evident from the moment that you walk into the Center. Students' artwork is prominently displayed, and there are volumes of scrapbooks filled with pictures of former and current students. The Center is stocked with high-quality instruments, toys, games, and art supplies. The Center offers parent-child classes as well as independent classes. Chickadee (age 3) has been enrolled in both types of classes and has enjoyed them. The age range for the various classes is infant through teenager. Most recently, Chickadee was enrolled in "Arts in the A.M." (ages 3-4.5) which includes music, art, and movement classes. The curriculum is as thorough as any preschool program, and the teachers are all highly trained and have wonderful interactions with the children. There is a theme for each week and an overall theme for the course (15 weeks [which can be pro-rated as well]). As a part of this course, the children take a break mid-morning and have a parent-provided snack. Chickadee felt so grown up taking a lunch box to her "program." I have to admit, it is adorable to see all of those little munchkins together! Most classes include at-home materials as well. In the past, these have included instruments, books, and/or audio CDs. We've tried several parent-child classes around the area, but I've been most impressed with Mrs. Sing's Kidsmusicart program. The staff, facility, and curricula are all top-notch.
