BCD Arts and Music Academy is led by founder Emma Ye, who also founded B.C.D. (Buchadian) Edu Group and Buchadian Art & Music Studio. Buchadian Art and Music Studio has a proven track record of offering music, art, and cooking lessons in San Bruno year-round for over five years and is trusted by thousands of families. The mission of B.C.D. Edu Group is to empower children ages 0–10 through interactive, hands-on learning experiences and kids’ courses that combine Eastern and Western education styles, with a focus on critical thinking, communication, and creativity through art and music, and on helping children find beauty in their lives beyond screen time and the AI world. The program states that it helps 0–10 years old use music and art to develop communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity skills, and it emphasizes engaging children in creative activities so they can explore their emotions, needs, and feelings, share feelings, and tell stories through art or composing songs.

BCD Arts and Music Academy reports being the only school in San Bruno that offers music, art, and cooking classes in one location, and the only music and art school in San Bruno that offers creative classes to meet a child’s needs. The program is open 7 days a week and offers month-to-month lessons with no semester minimums, as well as make-up lessons that never expire. The studio describes its space as an intimate, fun, and warm 400 sq. ft. environment that is intentionally “No-Wifi, No Screen-Time” in response to screen realities. It notes that it has professional office staff and a proven track record of offering quality music, art, and cooking lessons in San Bruno year-round.

BCD Arts and Music Academy describes itself as the biggest family event and play-date center in the Bay Area, having hosted more than 30 events in 2022 and continuing to host quarterly, seasonal, and festival events. The program has been featured in Session: Silicon Valley Times. One parent, Jacky, shared that BCD Studio has become “an intimate and loving community” for their children and mentioned appreciation for efforts to make the program thrive, including hiring Ms. Krizol. Another parent, Natalie B., reported that during a parents club playdate for 3–5 year olds, her 16‑month‑old and almost 4‑year‑old enjoyed engaging in music with instruments and free play with moon sand, blocks, and coloring.
