My son loves coming to the Art of Play Studio. We have attended several "Messy Mornings" on Sundays. The owner Carrie is absolutely amazing. She has set up various mediums to encourage creativity and fun for kids of all ages. Highly recommend!

We love the toddler class! My daughter gets to run around freely and get messy while indulging in many different sensory activities. I like that the class is not super structured because at this age it is hard for her to engage and focus on one activity for a long time so it was perfect that she can roam around and move from station to station. It’s great to have a place to do all of the messy activities that are hard to do at home. She loves touching all the paint (and eating it too 😑) which is okay because they use all non-toxic materials!!! LOL highly recommend this class!!!!

My son absolutely loves the Art of Play. He has never been more excited to go to summer camp. Carrie is so wonderful with the children and creates a fun, creative environment where they can explore different art forms. He comes home excited to share what he worked on. Whether it was painting, sculpting, or drawing. The camp also encourages children to think outside the box and express themselves in new and imaginative ways. Overall, it is a fantastic experience that sparks his creativity and made him even more passionate about art. 10/10 highly recommend.

We took our childcare group to the Art of Play Studio and the children had so much fun! The program had such variety that the children never got bored. Our teachers were very impressed with the program for the children and can’t wait to go back. Really a wonderful, fun, creative and educational program😊😊

Carrie and Maya at the Art of Play Studio are amazing! My daughter has ADHD and is very much an out of the box thinker. She thrives on learning and playing in her own unstructured way. The studio fosters that part of her personality and she values it so much! I’m so happy we have a place for her to go and be herself!
