Twenty one years ago, I discovered LMA. How very lucky we were! Claudia made an incredible…read moreimpression on me, from her self confidence, to her undeniable warmth. Thus began a journey of musical education for our kids, and friendship for me, that remains the same as it was since then. Although they are now 22 and 18, she and I joke about how, in Kindermusik, they both reached for her, wanting to sit on her lap. Then, as they got older, they began other kinds of lessons, which provided them with a fantastic musical education. Because of Steve and Claudia, and their very friendly support staff, everything always runs smoothly. The instructors are accomplished musicians as well, which always made the whole experience a very complete one. We recently went to the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, to see another one of their concerts. Steve and Claudia performed so beautifully, accompanied by two other very talented musicians. It was great, as it always is. Sometimes I feel wistful for the days when LMA was a part of our weekly schedule. But as the years have gone by, the kids have grown up, but my friendship with Claudia remains, and I will continue to cherish this.

We recently had our daughter's birthday party with Kim and her team at the Brooklyn Robot Foundry…read morein Larchmont. We had such a great experience, highly recommend! Kim and her assistants handled a party of 20 second graders with ease, they were fully engaged and challenged. It was so great to see the kids problem solve, learning why and how their robots were working, and how to fix them. They went from quietly and diligently building and decorating, to having so much fun racing and battling their creations. Kim is a natural teacher, and has a wonderful talent of making events fun and creative. She is clearly passionate about what she's teaching, and very organized and punctual. Everything was perfectly planned out and timed-completely stress free for the party host! The activities are designed to teach the kids to safely use real tools, as well as how and why things work. I could see the kids starting build their confidence in their problem solving abilities, while still having space to be creative and silly with their creations. We are thrilled to have had such a fun and different party. So grateful to Kim and her wonderful staff!

From the owner: Serving lower Westchester, Brooklyn Robot Foundry offers STEAM (science, technology, engineering,…read morearts, math) classes for children, and sometimes adults. The goal of the Robot Foundry is to share the fun of STEAM learning with children and inspire them to explore, problem-solve, and use their imaginations. We do this by offering fun, creative, screen-free and educational classes, parties, camps and field trips to children 2-11 years old. Our signature designs and building methods allow children to build on their own, resulting not only in a cool robot but also in increased confidence. (Children 2-5 years old are required to build with an adult, but do much of it on their own!) We encourage creativity and independent thinking from all of our builders. We provide the guidelines for each day’s robots, but the final design is up to the student. We offer a variety of programs, ranging in commitment from a single class to an entire semester. We are a fully mobile business. We bring the fun to your school, home, scout troop or location of your choice.

They were attentive to the kids and let them work at their own pace. Eliana did awesome face-painting throughout.

It was a hot day and the A/C was perfect. I often leave birthday parties sweating.

I have three children, ages 10,7 and 4. While they did enjoy it when they were younger, I no longer drop off my 10 & 7yr olds because art projects are not an interest of theirs right now. However, I do have friends whose older daughters take classes at CC, and not only do they create beautiful work, but many of the classes focus on a certain artist or genre, so the kids learn as well. My 4 yr old loves to visit during "drop in hours" to do arts and crafts. In my opinion, the $20 is very reasonable (in this town) for my time alone, a snack, and best of all, my child having fun and creating something that makes her feel proud. We have hosted preschool classroom gatherings (on random days off), and Fran, the owner, has always been more than willing to book her space for us even at the last minute and without a deposit (a rarity). Fran is a kind hearted person who runs CC because it is clear she has a vested interest in teaching the arts to kids. She is busy, with her business and kids of her own, but I've never found her rude or unresponsive.
