"KidzArt has enriched our school program with the kinds of art activities that it offers. As a Catholic school, we are pleased with how the philosophy of KidzArt aligns with ours, in that they teach with patience and creativity, and they provide a positive, supportive art experience for our children." LC, DeSoto County, MS
"KidzArt has been a great addition to our school giving our children an opportunity to participate and explore with art without leaving the building! The instructors do a wonderful job planning and implementing fun and exciting art curriculum. The students' skills grow from week to week. What a great program to encourage creativity and self confidence. I have been very pleased with the program."
Kristen Faircloth, Principal, Hilburn Elementary School and KidzArt parent
"As a teacher, I have several students in the KidzArt program. I notice students' behavior, attitude and confidence in a different light. Students that may have struggled during the school day with academics now have an area where they can shine and feel successful. They are proud of their accomplishments and talk about their experience the next day in class. I use that as a teachable moment to remind them to apply those same concepts in the classroom. I have seen a dramatic change in some students."
Robyn Boone, Teacher and KidzArt parent
"I have never had so many parents beg us to bring a program to our campus!"
School Administrator, Private School, Creve Coeur, MO
“Even though the district offers art classes, KidzArt classes were full and attendance never dropped.”
Matt Murphey, Principal, Antelope Creek Elementary, Rocklin, CA
"School administrators find KidzArt complements their own school curriculum. While some elementary teachers incorporate art into some subjects, most teachers don't have a background in art technique," said Jodi Westphal, principal at Spanger Elementary School in Roseville.
"It's nice to be able to offer an after-school program," Westphal said. "Children are getting experience with different art mediums, which is really nice because schools don't often have the potential to do that."
From Article on KidzArt– Roseville Press Tribune
“The KidzArt team brought a wonderful art program to our school, Old Pueblo Children’s Academy. They worked well with students and faculty, personally designing the program around our curriculum, communicating with administration about upcoming themes and events, as well as taking initiative and supplying everything needed from ideas to materials. Our students benefited from this professional and enriching program, and looked forward to the weekly sessions. Every student was able to express themselves creatively, and walked away feeling positive and successful...”
Ronda McCarthy, OPCA Principal, Tucson, AZ
"As a teacher and and educational adminstrator for some 28 years, I would count this program and the individuals running it, as one of the finest programs for young people I have known."
Marlise E. Bushman, Principal, Inverness Primary School, Inverness, FL
"As I watched the implementation of the KidzArt program I saw students' true talents come to the surface. The presenters and the program allowed and encouraged every child to become an artist for a moment. This program is well organized, exceptionally delivered and touched the artist in every child!
"Again Thank You for the work you have done with our students!"
Principal Joe Brewer Hillsdale Elementary, North Highlands, CA
"I wanted to thank you both for the art camp you held at SBEC. The children had so much fun. I was amazed to the the finished art projects they did. I heard so many great comments from the kids and parents. I am so pleased to have Kidzart as a part of SBEC's summer and after school program. Thanks again."
Tammy Sousan, SBEC Extended Care Director
"I am happy to write this letter expressing my love for the KidzArt program. KidzArt is a great experience for our children. Our After School Care children have enjoyed another offering in the variety of activities planned outside the school day. Many children who do not stay for the regular After School Care Program registered and are taking the KidzArt class. KidzArt is a great way to foster creativity and encourage the child who loves the visual arts. The fall of 2004 was our initial experience with KidzArt. We had so many children sign up for the classes that we had to add an additional class! The KidzArt teachers came into our school and were instantly like one of the family."
Mrs. Carmelita Burton, Principal, Madison Academy
"It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for the KidzArt Program. We have been very fortunate to offer this after school art program at A.B. Combs Elementary for the past two semesters. Mrs. Frazier has done a wonderful job planning, coordinating and implementing this art curriculum in our school. The program is structured, yet fun and very motivating. Skills are nurtured and developed in a caring, challenging and child-centered atmosphere. I am continually amazed at what Mrs. Frazier is able to bring out in her students. The quality of the students' work certainly tells the story. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from students, parents and teachers regarding the caliber of this art program. Mrs. Frazier is a master teacher who is extremely professional and puts the needs and interests of her students first. It is with the highest recommendation that I endorse the KidzArt Program. Please feel free to contact me at 919-233-4300 if you have any questions."
Principal Muriel T. Summers- A.B. Combs Leadership Magnet Elementary School
"KidzArt has been an exciting. enriching and important part of our after-school program. It's a joy to see the children practicing their drawing skills in a calm and supportive environment. The classes are always full because the children are having fun while learning! Many of our children have been taking KidzArt classes for several years. KidzArt brings a new dimension and compliments our own art program as well. I wholeheartedly endorse KidzArt as an art program that works!"
