Blooming Minds isn’t just another online art class, it’s a creative enrichment experience that helps kids regulate emotions, build confidence, and express themselves through art and journaling.
As a parent myself, I know how challenging it can be to balance structure, emotional growth, and creative opportunities, especially for kids who are sensitive, energetic, or working through big feelings. And in busy homes and schools, art is often the first thing to get pushed aside.
That’s why I created Blooming Minds: A Kids Art Journaling Club. This flexible, weekly online enrichment fits any schedule and it’s perfect for homeschoolers fulfilling elective credits or for traditional school families seeking meaningful creative space.
Blooming Minds is led by a certified Art Teacher and Art Therapy Practitioner, but it is not therapy. It’s a creative enrichment experience built on therapeutic principles without being clinical. Each project is meaningful, not just decorative, and we consistently encourage journaling as an outlet your child can return to anytime during the week in between lessons.
