We recently held my daughter's 3rd birthday at creative corner. It was perfect. We had about 16…read moretoddlers and they were engaged and happy the entire time. Fran and her team were great. They were attentive to the kids and let them work at their own pace. Eliana did awesome face-painting throughout. Parents needs to help the toddlers with their work but the kids really got into the projects themselves. It's not a huge place but 16 toddlers, parents and a few family members fit comfortably. It was a hot day and the A/C was perfect. I often leave birthday parties sweating.

Creative Corner is a wonderful place in Larchmont Village. If you just need a short (1-2 hours?)…read morebreak from your kid(s), but don't have a sitter or don't want to stick them in childcare at the gym, Creative Corner is like a welcome hug! I have three children, ages 10,7 and 4. While they did enjoy it when they were younger, I no longer drop off my 10 & 7yr olds because art projects are not an interest of theirs right now. However, I do have friends whose older daughters take classes at CC, and not only do they create beautiful work, but many of the classes focus on a certain artist or genre, so the kids learn as well. My 4 yr old loves to visit during "drop in hours" to do arts and crafts. In my opinion, the $20 is very reasonable (in this town) for my time alone, a snack, and best of all, my child having fun and creating something that makes her feel proud. We have hosted preschool classroom gatherings (on random days off), and Fran, the owner, has always been more than willing to book her space for us even at the last minute and without a deposit (a rarity). Fran is a kind hearted person who runs CC because it is clear she has a vested interest in teaching the arts to kids. She is busy, with her business and kids of her own, but I've never found her rude or unresponsive.
