What families say

“It’s been a great, developmentally appropriate way for me to expose my daughter to art. I would and do recommend Messy Makers to anyone with toddlers.” — Colette G.

“My now almost 2 year old has been going to Amy’s Messy Makers since she was just over a year old. She loves it! Amy’s class has a great structure/format of free art exploration, a project, storytime and outdoor play time. I’ve now signed up for 3 different semesters of art class and am planning to continue.” — Molly L.

“Our nanny takes him and we literally always talk about how ‘paint class’ days are our favorites.” — Mia K
