My kids love attending Art Smart Kids classes. Viki is a creative and engaging teacher. I absolutely love that she weaves art history into each session! As soon as we leave class, my kids want to know when they can attend again." - Jennifer, Reston, VA

“Wonderful Experience. Viki has a very clean, organized, developmentally appropriate and engaging art projects and toys. It's my daughter's favorite two hours of the week!! - V.R., Fairfax, VA

"I like my art class because I like to paint and Ms. Viki wears a beautiful dress."  She looks forward to going to class each week and as an artsy lady myself, I have to say that I am always impressed by the projects she brings home.  So far, we've displayed each piece and my daughter thus has so much pride in her artwork and creativity.  We can't wait to sign up for another class! - Jennifer, Herndon, VA

“We loved art.smart.kids.  My daughter always asks me how many sleeps until the next class.  We've proudly displayed all the treasures and masterpieces A.B. has made and loved.  Viki is caring, compassionate and well prepared for a wonderful class.  This isn't your regular arts and crafts play-doh class -- it's a perfect combination of great art, great masterpieces and great fun.  Highly recommend!” - T.H., Herndon, VA

“My girls LOVE art.smart.kids.  Viki has an amazing ability to teach children invaluable lessons about art that other art teachers think are too complicated for the age group, all while having loads of fun and creating beautiful things.  My four year old says "That looks like Jackson Pollack painted it" every time she sees paint splatter!” - Sandra, Reston, VA

“art.smart.kids is not your average art class.  Going beyond the usual cut and paste classes for preschoolers, my 2 year old daughter and 5 year old son enjoy making mosaics, mobiles, centerpieces, and such while being introduced to artists like Picasso, Seurat and Warhol.  Most important, they enjoy her classes so much so that they literally jump for joy when I tell them they have art class with Miss Viki today!  My son, who refuses to do more than 15 minutes of arts and crafts at home, asked to join more (three hour long) art camps last summer!   Needless to say, I highly recommend art.smart.kids!” - Sara, Fairfax, VA

“art.smart.kids has been fantastic for my daughter. She loves arts and crafts and this class has been so creative, fun and educational for her. It's been a great learning experience. She can identify mosaics, she mimicked Impressionism and calls her blank page her "canvas". We highly recommend this class to anyone who wants their child to learn not only art creativity but also it's history in easy and age appropriate stories.” - Nanette, Oak Hill, VA

“My daughter attended a Play Café class and a summer camp session and LOVED both experiences! I was very impressed with the art projects and the further exploration that was sent home. Clearly, there is much thought put in to developmentally appropriate art for the children and outreach to parents as well. You won’t get such encouragement and communication from a regular school or community class.” - Amy, Herndon,VA

“Viki has a wonderful way with the kids - very gentle and nurturing.

My kids loved learning about Ecoart and doing the project at

Storytellers - my son can't wait to attend her summer camp next week” - Wendy, Fairfax, VA

"I LOVE art.smart.kids. More importantly, my 2.5 year-old son LOVES it! He enjoys the classes themselves and really enjoys sharing his different projects with anyone that walks into our house. The programs are wonderful! They allow for individuality and creativity in addition to exposing children to artists, techniques and mediums that they might never see otherwise. The teacher is amazing. She gives just the right amount of direction, nudging and positive reinforcement. The projects are so creative and so fun that sometimes, I secretly, I wish I could do the them too. My son and I look forward to each and every class!" - Jennifer, Oak Hill, VA

“As the Grandmother of very active 4 year old twin boys I wondered how they would do in an art class. They had never been in a preschool setting before. I was delighted to observe them in Viki's class.  From their first experience they listened with great enjoyment to the story and then participated in the artwork. Viki has a wonderful way of relating to the children and holding their interest. I will continue to keep them enrolled in as many classes as possible. Thank you for providing children with an excellent introduction to artists and their work as well as giving the kids a chance to explore their own potential in the art world.” - Janet, Reston, VA

“My 4-year-old daughter comes from a long line of artists in our family, so when I heard about the art.smart.kids program, I was intrigued.  Children thrive from being able to use their instinctive creativity and imaginations, which help their minds to grow and thrive.  The art.smart.kids classes focus on doing just that.  My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her art class ... taught her how to use her imagination to create wonderful pieces of art.  My daughter came home after her class very proud of her artwork, which I feel instilled confidence in herself.  Viki’s art projects are innovative and unique.  She is very warm and welcoming.  She made my daughter feel very comfortable the moment they met.   My daughter is now one of art.smart.kids biggest fans...as am I.” - Tina, Herndon, VA
