Taima has a passion for art and color and creativity. My two boys were engaged, laughing and learning. She came with these color wheels that the kids painted by mixing their own colors. My older son was looking for some specific guidance with drawing and Taima was able to offer some techniques for him to utilize.

As a Principal, I'm constantly searching for engaging and enriching opportunities for our students beyond the classroom. My search led me to Grasshopper Kids, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer! From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by their organization and professionalism. Scheduling classes, coordinating logistics, and communicating with staff was a breeze. Their online platform is user-friendly and informative, keeping me updated on everything from class schedules to teacher bios. It's clear they value clear communication and efficiency, which is a huge plus for busy administrators like myself. I highly recommend Grasshopper Kids to any school looking to enhance their after-school program. They're truly a dream to work with and a surefire way to ignite a love for learning in your students.
