Charlie loved it and had so much fun!

Improvements:

It could be cool to know the themes ahead of class to get them excited but not necessary.

Meet your Instructors

Alicia H.

Alicia loves exploring the beauty & wonder of the world with children! After studying Elementary Education at the University of Florida, Alicia moved to Brooklyn to work with children outside of the classroom. She taught at The New York Botanical Garden, as well as an art-based preschool in Park Slope, before developing Naturally Curious Nature Walks, an after-school nature play program. Alicia is excited to bring all of her experiences to Oh! Canary and celebrate art with your child!

Christina M.

Christina’s favorite things as a child were designing houses, pretending to be a travel agent, and playing school with Cabbage Patch dolls. Her adult life is about the same. She enjoys doodling dream homes. The travel apps on her phone are filled with places to visit, and prior to having her own daughters, she taught real children. She moved from Louisana in 2018, but feels at home in NJ. She often misses the Southern sun, but Oh Canary feels like a perfect place to create her own sunshine!
