here’s what parents are loving about Happy Place

"Happy Place is truly my first grade daughter’s happy place! Not only does she get to express her creativity and learn incredible art skills, but she also experiences top-quality social emotional learning. Abby has taught her there’s no such thing as mistakes, just tries. She says she wants to be an art teacher when she grows up, just like Abby!"

Lauren D.
"Classes are the absolute best - the creativity and variety of mediums used are absolutely top notch. Abby is a truly amazing and engaging teacher and effortlessly encourages and empowers all kids to love art and explore their creative sides!"

Amanda E.
"We were so excited to have our daughter’s 3rd birthday party with Abby and Happy Place! Abby delivered a very fun filled princess themed art party for our daughter and her friends. Abby is lovely to work with; she is very hands on, thorough, organized, professional & helpful. The activities she created for the group were magical and fun! We will definitely be having another Happy Place party again!"

Cynthia C.
"Happy Place was a MUCH-needed addition to our community. Not only do my kids love the classes (at both WRT and CoP) but I’ve also attended three of the mom’s nights and created some quality projects (if I do say so myself) and can’t wait to do another. What’s better than doing arts and crafts with a glass of wine?!"

Ali S.
"Happy Place Creative Studio and Abby are so wonderful! My daughter loved going to her art class. The weekly themes created such adorable unique projects. I also joined one of the Mom Sesh nights and it was the perfect girls night out!"

Kassie B.
"Happy Place has been nothing short of amazing for my daughter’s development - both her artistic abilities and her personal growth. Abby’s approach to class allows the kids to be themselves and highlight their individuality, helps them hone in on their skills, and be creative and silly in a nurturing environment. It has been the best part of my child’s week, and we can’t wait to come back for more! Truly our happiest place, thank you!"

Lauren M.
"My daughter loves going to Happy Place! Abby thinks of such creative projects, is hands on with everything, and the kids love being there! My daughter loves going to art class and now wants to continue drawing, coloring, and painting whenever she comes home!"

Tracy S.
"Abby is incredible! Her classes are so well-planned and executed, and it's clear she loves what she does. Abby and her team are wonderful with kids of all ages and really instill a love of art. The projects are hands-on and creative and my kids love every minute. Happy Place really is the happiest of places!"

Lauren E.
"My daughter loves Happy Place art classes and Abby! Abby models for the kids that there is no right way or one way to make art. My daughter loves the creativity of each project and leaves each class excited and proud!"
