Children’s Art Classes was established in 1997 and has expanded to over a dozen locations, bringing a curriculum of over 40 areas of art to thousands of children across the country. The Temecula studio offers a studio-based art education program for ages 3 and up, with an age-based program that focuses on teaching technique while introducing students to a wide range of mediums and different artistic applications. Classes rotate over a two-year cycle, and families can enroll at any time during this rotation, with students able to continue year after year without repeating a project.

The nine-month programs include drawing school–style instruction and holistic art training that incorporates painting, drawing lessons, sketching classes, and other art lessons, with a full spectrum of art classes, painting lessons, drawing lessons, and optional sketching classes to suit different age levels and interests. The program introduces students to more than 40 art techniques, and it reports a 100% graduation rate, with many honor students graduating from the programs, several having earned art scholarships, and many participating in leading art shows. The organization states that 99 percent of its students are accepted to La Villa School of the Arts and that 100 percent of those students graduate with a high school diploma, and it promotes art for life, providing students an outlet for future art business ownership or careers.

All teachers are CAC trained.
