DONNA’S KIDS LEADS THE WAY…
Founded by Donna Piken in 1996, Donna’s Kids has enriched thousands of children over the years with exciting, innovative educational arts programs. With original and carefully designed curriculums, a dynamic and supportive learning environment, talented teachers, and a unique educational arts approach, Donna’s Kids’ programs bring out creativity and spark the imagination of every child while having fun and instilling confidence, skills and positive thinking for a truly meaningful experience. We offer an extensive array of programs that grow with your child.
MULTI-ARTS BASED ACTIVITIES…
Through active participation in our multi-arts based and age appropriate activities, children discover, explore and experience the joys of the arts – visual arts, fine arts, theatre arts, music, creative movement, yoga, cooking, poetry and storytelling. These disciplines benefit social development and responsiveness and foster self-growth, self-esteem, self expression and creativity.
KID-TESTED CURRICULUMS…
Donna’s Kids curriculums have been carefully designed and kid-tested. Curriculums are constantly updated and kept flexible to incorporate Donna’s “individual needs” philosophy which refines curriculums to meet the varied needs and dynamics of each child and class.
WHAT SETS DONNA'S KIDS APART...
Donna’s special intuitive gift for teaching and her unique educational arts approach combined with a warm, loving, enthusiastic and talented staff of teaching artists make Donna’s Kids a truly special and memorable experience.
