Abrakadoodle OKC

Specialties

Since April 2012 Abrakadoodle OKC has been inspiring creativity in children through its art classes, camps, programs and parties for children ages 20 months to 14 years old throughout the state of Oklahoma.

History

Established in 2002.

Abrakadoodle was established in 2002 by noted educator/​award-​winning franchise developer Mary Rogers, M.Ed. and Rosemarie Hartnett. Their goal was to expand art choices, making programs more comprehensive by engaging students in a broad landscape of activities such as painting, collage, sculpture, mosaics, digital design and more. Research shows that the benefits of early arts education extend way beyond providing a creative outlet for children. Skills developed through arts education can include creative problem solving, focus, risk taking, and self-​discipline. The arts help children develop such literacy skills as reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Abrakadoodle provides the art tools, curriculum, and well-​trained teachers to ensure that the program stays at the cutting edge.

Abrakadoodle’s Professional Memberships Include:
