We're building a small, thoughtful children's art and creative learning program in the Bay Area, beginning with weekend classes for young children. This is not a traditional, assembly-line after-school art class. Art is the entry point, but the goal goes far beyond learning how to draw. Through hands-on making and exploration, we help children build creativity, imagination, curiosity, language and communication skills, confidence, and broader cognitive and social-emotional development. Class themes are rich and varied—from nature, animals, seasons, and food to stories, emotions, colors, shapes, cultures, everyday objects, and the world as children see it. The program has been running successfully in Seattle for the past two years and now serves more than 200 students. The curriculum has grown alongside the children and has been refined in real classrooms—from early creative exploration to more structured projects involving storytelling, materials, crafts, color, shape, and expressive thinking. We're now bringing this thoughtful, hands-on learning experience to the Bay Area. We're looking for a
