The teachers are professionals, they're educated, & they all have a passion that clearly resonates to all the students. They offer a wide range of classes for everyone, toddlers to grown ups. They also are very involved in the community and participate in many parades, and local outreaches; the main one being Disney World. If there is a setback, it would be the amount of money that could add up with tuition, dance uniforms, & props. Either way, this is the best dance school in Hampton Roads by far!

I was excited when I saw a new small business, Kidcreate Art Studio was opening in the spring '21…read morein Newport News. I signed my granddaughter up for every activity in her age group. Each class is very affordable! The studio is in a strip mall on Warwick Blvd near Yates Elementary. It is a bright space with a variety of art supplies available to purchase for children, and a bright, colorful creating space with tables and stools. Some little kids fall off the stools but there are chairs available if desired. Ms Karen is the owner and she is delightful. She is very friendly and accommodating, but not overly so. The studio offers classes for children as young as 18 months, and as there is a wide variety of personalities and abilities, some children take awhile to get comfortable and some take to the structure right away. However there is no judgement or pressure for any child who may be having a melt down, and some do, or children who want to put project elements on upside down, or children who would rather sit on the floor or visit the caged birds that live at the studio. Some projects are very difficult for the younger children, but the age range for the classes my granddaughter attends is 18 months to 6 years, so there is quite a bit of adult involvement with the much younger children. The somewhat older children can attend on their own and parents can come back for them. Most projects have messy elements, and one of their "rules" is to have fun and get messy. Child height hand washing sinks are located close by, thankfully! I found a couple of projects too messy for my liking, but then, I'm about 60 years older than the kids the projects are designed for! As with any new business there are learning curves for the instructors who are likely getting all the elements together for a project they have never taught before. However the instructors generally are very hands off and let the children do what they feel comfortable doing while providing everything for a finished project. I look forward to supporting this business for several years to come, as long as my granddaughter is enjoying it.

We communicated through email a few times before meeting in person at my daughter's first class and she was always quick to email back. There are two class times for my daughter's age group that are offered once a week. Unfortunately one class was full so we had to go with an earlier time which can be tough to get to after school.

My husband and I were finally able to see it after a 2 month investigation. They found multiple instances with ALL teachers in her classroom, involving multiple children, where there is excessive force being used and negligence of the children, including my daughter. The instance of my daughter, one of the most tenured teachers in the classroom, Jhamica, was feeding her in an activity center and becomes frustrated by her not eating fast enough. She grabs a bouncer (clearly pissed) and yanks my daughter out of the activity center and proceeds to throw her down into the bouncer. I could not believe my eyes. Especially because we had so much trust for Jhamica and never saw her behave with this type force or anger, ever. This was night and day from how she behaved when we as parents were present. We were told by CPS that there was far worse treatment witnessed in their review of all the footage of this infant classroom. The "teachers" are routinely snatching the babies up by ONE ARM and tossing them onto the floor. CPS mentioned specifically in our discussion yesterday, the roughest treatment and one-armed snatching / throwing involving a boy who wears a helmet in the classroom and a girl who started walking. The "teachers" were referred to CPS as lazy, sitting in the rocking chairs almost all day long, completely ignoring the kids until absolutely necessary. There's a special place in hell for these people.
