TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR PARENTS
"Fantastic classes. My 3 year old cries when the class is over and we have to leave. I love the concept of blending all the subjects with art. My daughter can't wait for her next class every week, it's all she talks about. The "Studio" has a very friendly and calm feel. We are so happy we found this little gem and we wish them all the best. Love that it's a local business!" - Michelle
"Mrs. Diamond certainly has passion for what she does and she has tremendous patience with my kids (ages 4 and 6)" Octopus' Garden. Dan G.
"What a pleasure it is to know that my girls (ages 8 and 6) are getting such great instruction and time with Mrs. Diamond. Watch out Da Vinci! ;)" - Da Vinci's World, Kimberly B.
"My daughter attended the Beatles art class Magicial Mystery Tour at the Summer Camp. She loved it and she loved the teacher. She won't stop talking about you and the class. As an artist myself, I noticed that the brushes, paint and canvas were the best quality and after taking her to a few art classes, I know that those materials are very hard to find. Good luck to your company - you really deserve it !"
MerchantCircle Review: Fantastic Lesson - Thanks !! 
“Art is a nation’s most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation. And where there is no vision, the people perish.” –Lyndon Johnson
"Teaching the visual arts to young children exposes and exercises the child's instinct to find multiple paths to a solution as well as multiple solutions to a given problem. This has got to be the most powerful tool we have to create and sustain a nation of innovators" - Richard BorlandWe do not offer 'ARTS AND CRAFTS' classes.
You will be amazed at what your child learns in our classes and this learning sticks.
Just ask them after each class!
Art is the medium for academic achievement.
We incorporate multi-disciplinary and "multi-intelligence" teaching approaches.
Children learn about the context of their art project, the history, math, science, astronomy, biology, geography, chemistry and discoveries surrounding the art masters.
We are very popular with home schoolers as our unique lessons are aligned with state curricula.
Our Kids Art Studio is located across the street from The Lakes

PROGRAMS AFTER SCHOOL IN THE MEDIA
Acorn Thousand Oaks: November 2009
Ventura County Star: October 2009
Proudly aligned with Americans for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts
Unlike well known, out-of-state enrichment franchises, we live and
raise our chidren right here - in the same communities and school
districts as you !
Please support local business
Our major competitors are out-of state franchises who do not require their instructors or even their franchise owners to have college degrees or teaching experience! A slice of their revenue goes to their Illinois and Virginia headquarters in franchise fees and they are forced to buy their art supplies through HQ franchise contracts - increasing the flow of precious revenue out of California. Let's keep our revenue in our city so we can hire local talent and buy supplies from local businesses. It's socially responsible !
The Facts:
- Our California public school budgets have been slashed and schools continue to be grossly under-funded
- Essential programs in art, music and science have been cut and teachers have been laid off
- Parents are contributing more and more out of their pockets to sustain the public schools while at the same time, class sizes are growing and student-to-teacher ratios are simply too large to provide for effective education our children deserve
- Art enables critical thinking, fosters academic performance and real world solutions in all disciplines
