But as soon as I walked in I felt at ease. This was the third place I toured and I instantly knew it was going to be the right fit. Lindsay explained their philosophy which really emphasizes play based learning, (exactly what we were looking for) and just taking to her and watching the teachers interact with the kids I could tell that everyone really cares about these children, that it's not just a job. Their outside areas are big and shady and well equipped and the kids get a ton of time out there which I feel is crucial at this age. And my kid LOVES IT. He's been there for a little over a year and is excited to go every day. He always tells me how much he loves all the teachers and always wants to make them cards. His social skills have gotten better, he's made a bunch of friends, and he's learned a lot more than I expected at this age. The skills he is gaining impress me daily. I know some parents like daily updates on their child's progress, and you can get that here, but you have to ask for it. You won't get an email or a long conversation at pick up time everyday. But I just always check in with the teachers a few times a week and they're happy to talk with me or email with me. I just can't say enough good things about this place.

I was originally looking for an art program that "teaches" my 5-years-old child more about how to draw, color, or make an art in a professional (or, semi-professional) manner. I did easily find many studio or city programs that let young children experience joy of art, but I saw my daughter not satisfied enough with those programs and I was looking for something a bit more serious, or at least a kind that can give a "push" to her so she has an opportunity to "improve" her skill rather than just staying at where she is and doing art for a pure joy. Most art programs or art schools were usually for pre-teen age at the youngest and never toward kindergarteners. And a few art studios which I did find that offered classes to young children had mixed reviews from parents, and students' art works that I have seen at such classes did not impress me - honestly speaking. But Mr. Omar blew away all of those frustrations that I have had from the moment my daughter sat in front of him. He is an excellent teacher. He can be very patient with younger students and yet able to enjoy teaching them, so students enjoy his class. He started out the lesson with my daughter on improving her favorite drawings as she drew, so she naturally enjoyed what she was doing with him. Just like any other students at his studio, she loves going to Mr. Omar's studio every week and we love watching her art works each time she finishes one. We also find his tuition in very reasonable range, which was another big factor for us. I think he has a very good personality and good work ethics, too, and I felt that those are just as important to consider if you want to leave your child with a grown-up for an hour every week. We believe that people (including children) can learn only from what he or she experiences, and so it was obvious to us what our daughter experiences and who she has such experience with count very much. We highly recommend Mr. Omar as a wonderful art teacher. read more

Before I came to this studio, it had been so hard to find an art teacher for my daughter, an auditory learner who excels in music but doesn't like visual arts. Now she's looking forward to going to Mr. Omar's art class every week! In this studio, she not only is taught drawing skills, but also gets her ability of observation improved. It occurs to me that now she pays more attention to the details of the pictures she's looking at, and even starts to visualize those pictures. Omar also gives a lot of freedom for kids' imagination, and encourages their creativity. I feel that my daughter is quite motivated to create art works now. read more

He has had problems with parts missing from his project as other students take things out of his bin when they can't find something. They are usually the high demand parts, so he has a really tough time replacing them. When he asks the coaches, they tell him to go look for the part, and he spends a good portion of the time looking for parts as they don't provide it for him. He says when he has a question, several other smaller kids interrupt, and the coach's attention gets scattered, and they don't answer his question ultimately. So, all in all, he is not able to make much progress week to week. I was shocked, as the per lesson cost of this program is almost the price of private music or tennis instruction, that he would get so little attention and help. Something so simple as the low availability of parts is something that could be managed, and there should be enough coaches to answer the kids' questions. I had asked about the competition path last summer and was told our son had to learn the basics for about a year first. When we said we would like to cancel, all of a sudden, this competition "class" was an option. I suspect that this basically operates like a daycare with legos for most, and all the actual coaching gets saved for the few kids in competition.
