About Us
We are very excited to offer KidzArt to the South Placer and North Sacramento community. We’ve always enjoyed participating in activities that leave people better than we found them. Nowhere is that joy more evident and immediately gratifying than when you enrich the life of a child. And for Seniors…it’s simply inspiring.
A fun and enriching art experience coupled with excellent customer service start first with our desire to exceed the expectations of our students, their families and the hosting facility directors. Also critical is assembling the team that can embrace and deliver that experience. These are lessons that we’ve learned and lived in both our community service and work in Fortune 500 insurance and technology firms.
KidzArt is an opportunity to take the many gifts and experiences we’ve been blessed with and pass them on through art education services to our staff and, of course, to our community’s seniors, children and their families. Our goal and that of our staff is to create “Aha!” moments for every student in every KidzArt session.
Thank you for allowing the KidzArt staff to serve you and exceed your expectations.
Fun, creativity, confidence and … oh yeah! … beautiful art. We hope you have enough wall space!
