Art Lab has created a very special art class. The environment is stimulating, but very relaxed, and ensures that children of all ages and abilities are totally free to express themselves in a wide variety of mediums. My daughter Kayla has been going for 3 semesters and loves the creative freedom it allows her, encouraging creative thinking, inspiring confidence.
Pauline Velez-Romano is just lovely: kind, gentle, friendly, patient, and seems to genuinely enjoy teaching the kids. Soon Kayla will be ending her third semester of class and looking forward to many more.
Kayla loves going to Art Lab!
