KidzArt: 2011 in Review

Author: Sue Bartman CEO
01 6th, 2012

Despite the declining economy, KidzArt/Art Innovators is proud to have achieved growth in many areas during 2011. As parents continue to make their children’s education a priority, many of our franchisees grew and accomplished goals and noticeable firsts.

 

Further International Expansion

 

Responding to an increase in demand for children’s creative educational services globally, KidzArt/Art Innovators added four new international franchise partners to our enterprise. Saudi Arabia, Malta, Canada and the Philippines are now part of our growing list of worldwide locations. People around the world recognize that children with creative thinking skills possess a mindset that will thrive in our fast-changing world and KidzArt/Art Innovators is pleased to lead the charge on this endeavor.

 

Early Art Ed in Demand

 

KidzArt/Art Innovators saw the demand for our Squiggles to Grins program double in 2011. Squiggles to Grins is, at first look, an art class for an adult (mom, dad or caregiver) with a child from the age of 2 – 3 1/2. Yet on second look you see a structured class that concentrates on sensorimotor skill development through fun movement, music, songs and touch of varying art textures.

 

Squiggles curriculum helps students acquire intellect, knowledge, focus, and skill sets they will need in school. The various segments of the 45 minute to 1 hour class, by design, help students hold and expand attention time, thoughts, and actions. School readiness skills are also enhanced through the socialization and interaction within that fun group. All of this leads to an improved kindergarten experience.

 

In 2012, KidzArt/Art Innovators looks forward to continuing to build on our strengths and expand our marketplaces to bring art to children everywhere.

A Note from the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait

I attended a ribbon cutting ceremony event for KIDZART in Kuwait. The event included 6 educational groups for kids at the Avenues premier mall for the weekend. About 300 were in attendance. The KidzArt owner, Mrs. Somaya Al Walayti, told me she and her two friends were not content to let their offspring sit in front of computers or TV. They searched for a franchise that offered “edutainment ” for Kuwait children. They found that Franchise in Texas and have brought KidzArt, a fun approach to art, to Kuwait.

I was fascinated by the concept and charmed by the local Franchisee Somaya. She and her two college classmates promote an educational diversion for Kuwait’s growing under 20 population. I visited a “edutainment” event on Feb 6 and noted that there were lines of parents eager to enroll their children in KidzArt classes.

I have recommended Somaya and her partners for an Embassy honor.

Warm regards from the Arabian Gulf,

Commercial Counselor, U.S. Embassy Kuwait
