“Roots & Wings Summer Art Camp exceeded all expectations! What incredible project to work on. My daughter, Kate, 6, had the opportunity to work in new mediums and her creativity and individuality were encouraged. Melissa, her instructor created a nurturing environment that allowed Kate to feel comfortable to create and explore the depths of her imagination. We will definitely be signing up for more sessions!”
-Karen, Summer Art Camp parent
“Ginger’s school is the best thing that’s happened for our son. He has learned so much and everyday he is so proud of what he has created or learned. Most of all, he LOVES going to school. Ginger is thoughtful and intentional about her curriculum and is an amazing teacher. We are so lucky to have her and Roots and Wings in our community!!”
-Caroline, Visual Arts Preschool parent
“My daughter’s experience at Roots + Wings School of Art helped build her confidence, not only with the art mediums, but also helped build skills in listening to a teacher and social interaction with her peers.”
- Michelle, Monthly Art Session parent
“At Roots + Wings, my son gets individual attention and loving validation of his interests, which makes all the difference. The space is cheerful and clean and safe. It’s hard to get my son to leave at the end of the preschool day!”
-Alana, Visual Arts Preschool parent
“You should frame all of my art!”
