A few more notes about how amazing KidSmart Academy is.
My daughter was prepared for kindergarten to the point that she has been complimented on how much she knows from multiple teachers! Thank you all so much for giving her the opportunity to be this successful! We got a chance to try summer camp and had an amazing time! My daughter came home with beautiful art that she made. We loved knowing that she was always taken care of. We will definitely be utilizing KidSmart for future camps!
Sharmila B.
My daughter was one of the first students (age group - 8-10 years old) of Shilpa who is the owner and art teacher at KidSmart Academy. Shilpa not only taught and encouraged my daughter to start enjoying drawing but also taught her initial sketching techniques like shading, blending, etc. Shilpa even inspired my daughter to take up Art as her career seeing her interest in drawing structures, buildings, etc. at a very early age which is actually a dream major for her for college applications next year.
I highly recommend KidSmart. KidSmart Academy is supervised by Shilpa and I am 100% sure it is a safe, educational and fun place for all kids.
Michael Y.
Our son loves the KidSmart afterschool program and has been going there for almost 2 years.
They provide school pick ups, have great friendly teachers and a variety of classes like chess, abacus, science and arts.
Piya M.
My son has been going there for the last 2 years and he absolutely loves it. The teachers are very attentive. Takes care of their homework as well as additionally teaches them lessons, preparing them for higher grades.
The art classes and mad science projects are thoroughly enjoyed by the children.
Inna Magner
My kids love going to Art-Smart Studios.
My daughter started going to summer art camp 4 y ago, while at kindergarten. She used to come home with beautiful art, using diff materials.
Since then, both my daughter, now going to 4th grade, and my son, going to 1st grade, have been participating. The studio moved to a specious location with easy access so it's a smooth drop off and pickup. The hours are until 6 pm, a great plus for 2 working parents.
Aside from art they also offer robotics, science and other fun activities. The groups are small and very personal.
Thank you Shilpa and Art Smart Studio for such a great summer camp!
Riya Badadare
ArtSmart Studios is a great place and has amazing summer camps with many fun activities such as art, robotics, and an exciting new subject for each week!! I got to learn so much at camp while having lots of fun. Art class is very fun too. I also made lots of friends there. I definitely suggest going to ArtSmart!
Ruchi Gupta
Wonderful and very caring teachers......my kid really enjoys going there.
Nash P
My daughters usually hate or are unhappy with most camps they attended. This year, the 1st day when I picked them up from the camp, they told me they love this camp! All the staff I encountered were also very pleasant. They seem to really care for kids, not some grumpy teens that work as a camp leader for extra money but couldn't care less. The projects kids were doing were also interesting and stimulating for kids that they spent a long time with high concentration to try their best. Highly recommend this camp. In fact, my kids asked me to send them back to this camp again!
Charu Gureja
My daughter really enjoyed the art/science camp here even though it was only for half a day! She made a beautiful painting that she's proud of.
Mitch Fox
We needed a camp on short notice for our 5 year old daughter when our plans changed this summer. She really enjoyed the camp, spoke highly of both the art projects and the free time at the nearby park. His final art project was great!
Anand Misra
ArtSmart was a really creative, engaging and fun experience for my daughter. We signed her for one week of spring camp but extended it to two because she enjoyed it a lot. Science and art often seem to develop in separate silos but it’s good to combine them as the classes at ArtSmart stimulate their analytical and creative minds. We were surprised to hear her talking to her granddad discussing pulleys and gears and how she was able to engineer a robot. The staff led by Shipla who is an excellent artist herself, is caring and dedicated making sure that kids have a good time. I highly recommend ArtSmart for summer/spring programs or classes in general.
