About Story + Studio
Story + Studio is a thoughtfully guided art experience for young children that blends storytelling, art-making, and creative play into one joyful morning.
Each session begins with a story or art-inspired conversation, followed by guided exploration of materials. Children are invited to paint, print, build, collage, and create, with a focus on process, discovery, and self-expression in a calm, supportive studio environment.
Creative play follows our art time, allowing children to connect with peers, extend their ideas, and move freely within an intentional, art-centered space.
This is a gentle, structured experience designed to nurture confidence, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

Caregiver Note

Caregivers are welcome to stay briefly if needed. We are always happy to partner with families to support each child’s comfort and confidence as they grow into independent participation.
Good to Know
