From Our Families

“Tom is warm, silly and most importantly, entertaining. His high energy keeps the attention of the toddler preschool age group, which isn’t easy to do.”

“Raquel’s art classes are enlightening, beyond my expectations. [My children] continued the project after the class and were very proud of their art pieces. I feel so lucky we signed up.”

“[My daughter] liked learning specific techniques to improve her sculpture skills, and having clear instruction and great encouragement.”

“Mackie is a born teacher — patient, kind, motivating, instructive, and fun.”

“Although we’ve yet to meet Tom and Mackie in-person, their thoughtfulness and caring shines through online, and our son feels a part of something special in their classes. “
