Not Your Typical Art Class

Most kids' art programs hire artists who like children. Lizette is a child development expert who teaches through art. That changes everything about what happens in the room.

A Teacher Who Reads the Room

Lizette's training in child psychology means she notices things other instructors miss. When a child needs encouragement, when they're ready for a challenge, when they just need space. Every session is shaped by what your child actually needs that day.

They'll Surprise Themselves

The best moment in Lizette's class is when a child looks at what they made and realizes they did something they didn't think they could. That's not an accident. It's what 20 years of working with children teaches you to create.

Small Enough That She Knows Your Kid

With a maximum of 8 students, Lizette learns each child's name, their comfort level, and how to stretch it. This isn't a drop-in craft hour. It's a real relationship, built week after week.
