Little Tree Studios

Little Tree is my daughter’s happy place. Heck, it’s my happy place too. The place is just flooded with great creative energy and the environment is super cute and somehow peaceful even with all the activity. The teachers, Trisha and Nicole, are really hands on, encouraging and intuitive with the kids. We started with the Pre-​K Sundays, which my younger daughter still attends, and now my older daughter is doing some of the «big kid» classes. The actual projects are very nice quality, not just a bunch of junk (though I literally had to buy a shelf for the kids room to house it all). Overall, a great place that I actually look forward to shlepping my kids to.

My daughter just completed a week long Robot Marionette camp here and we were blown away by the whole experience. Little Tree is super creative and cozy, with lots of attention to details and a great student-​teacher ratio. My kid was completely enthralled the whole time and came home inspired to do her own projects. The owner clearly spends a lot of time developing the concepts and execution for these programs and it really shows.

I love this place. Not only are they super welcoming to parents and children, they are able to engage the children in a way that even when they go home, they are anxious to try new art projects. Nicole is extremely nice and my kids took an instant liking to them. We will definitely be back!

I almost don’t want to write this review because I know drones of people with their kids will flock to this little gem! The place is darling, affordable and the teacher can’t get any better. She is easy on the eyes, patient and great with kids. This art studio is a must see, it will get anyone’s creative juices flowing!

I found Little Tree when a friend I was talking to told me what a wonderful time her daughter had there last summer and how creative and kind Nicole is. She was a great help to me and I recommend parents stop by and see what great projects are going on there.

We have been here several times for different kids activities, and each time we are more impressed with how creative and thoughtful Nichole is in her approach to kids’ art projects.
We have been here for date night a couple times, where the kids do a cool project associated with an animated movie, on a Friday evening for 3 hours, while we grab dinner in the Mission.
We threw a birthday party here for our 7 year old daughter and her friends, which was a big hit.
And we had our 5 year old in a week camp during school spring break, where he and a cast of 12 kids were guided in creating a performance play.
Each time our kids have been thrilled and excited about their activities, while Nichole and the staff have an organized and attentive approach.

We threw our 3 year old twin girls’ birthday party at Little Tree Studios today. The place recently opened across the street from our house and is ridiculously cute so we were excited to try it out. Without hesitation I can say the experience at Little Tree was above and beyond what we expected or imagined. Creative, fun, easy and affordable.
Nichole, the owner, is a former preschool teacher so she knew exactly the right types of activities to keep all ages of kids totally engaged. We had our girls and a few of their toddler age friends but also cousins ranging from 6 – 12 years old. Every kid had the best time and left with all sorts of art projects (paintings, wood sculptures, bubble wands w beads, etc.). Nichole even arranged for us to have a face painter which the kids (and a few adults!) loved. Her staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
The space is not large, but they use it well. We had 29 people and were cozy, but all fit just fine. They are also fixing up the backyard and once that is operational, there will be plenty of space for larger parties.
I am so happy this gem of a place is in the mission. Thanks to Nichole for helping us create some special memories today. Can’t wait to sign up for some of the classes! My kids didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back.
