About the provider

The Loft Collective began in 2012 as Little Loft. It expanded to Takoma Park in 2015, reopened in 2021 as The Loft Collective after a pandemic pause in 2020, and expanded again with a second location in Hyattsville, MD in 2025. Its mission is to provide a creative sanctuary for children and families, and a space to foster connection and promote personal growth through art. The leadership team includes Lia Salza, Meg Ryan, Martina Loncar, Carolyn Dodenhoff, and Ciarra Walters.

Class enrollment is in 6-week sessions. Classes are offered for ages 2-12. 10% sibling discounts are available for siblings enrolled in the same class. Scholarships are available.
