About 9 years ago, my husband, Jacob, and I moved to Loudoun County. We are interested in fine arts and performing arts, as we have participated in various forms of arts or music classes throughout our youth and adulthood. We believe children participating in arts develop essential skills necessary to be successful academically and in life. We feel we are not alone; an increasing number of parents hold similar thinking and are looking for venues for their children to participate in arts programs. Expert studies validate this thinking.

As parents of a six-year-old daughter, like any parent, we would like to see our daughter growing happy, confident and successful in life. We want her to have an opportunity to experience positive facets of life that fine arts and performing arts have to offer.

The TREEHOUSE for creative kids was established to offer a solution to parents with similar needs and points of view. TCK art classes are well balanced and structured so that students and their parents have positive experiences.
