Art Class, Taught by Someone Who Actually Understands Kids
Lizette doesn't just teach art. With a Master's in Child Psychology and 20+ years working with kids on the Peninsula, she creates a space where your child feels safe enough to take real creative risks, and proud enough to bring their work home.
Trusted by a leading San Mateo independent school across multiple sessions and 30+ students. Now open to families across the Peninsula.
What Makes This Different
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.
Already Trusted at a Top Peninsula School
Lizette has taught 30+ students across multiple sessions at a leading San Mateo independent school. The same approach, the same instructor, the same care, now available to your family every Wednesday.
