✨ September at Kids Create Art & Wellness: Transitions + New Beginnings

Hey Creatively Balanced Families!

September has a way of sneaking up, doesn’t it? One moment we’re in summer mode, and the next we’re jumping through hoops with new school year routines, dropping kids off at school or COLLEGE, and even squeezing in those last-minute (concert) trips. I’ve been doing all three! Ack!

Inside the studio, the same theme is unfolding: a swirl of transitions and fresh starts, with plenty of space for both creativity and mindfulness for children. Here’s what’s happening around Kids Create Art & Wellness in Windermere this month.

🎨 Class Openings

We’re so grateful that most of our fall classes are already full! The energy in the studio this year has been awesome. If you’ve been hoping to join us, here are the spaces still available:

Monday Art (4:30 p.m.) – open spots for creative exploration.

Thursday Art (4:30 p.m.) – different projects than Monday, so your child can sign up for both if they’d like.

Tween Balance (Wednesday 5:30 p.m.) – our signature kids yoga class, designed as a midweek reset that blends movement, mindfulness, and social-emotional learning for ages 9–12.

Whether your child is interested in after-school art programs in the Orlando area, or wants to try mindful movement, these small-group classes are designed to build confidence, self-regulation, and joy.

🌟 What’s New Around the Studio

Paloma Parlor is opening soon!We’re so excited that the owner of Pizza 14 and Paloma Coffee is opening a brand-new spot right below our studio. Paloma Parlor will offer ice cream, coffee, and lite bites—the perfect place for parents to relax while waiting during class or to grab a sweet treat on the way home.

Sound Bath this Sunday We’re thrilled to welcome energy healer Ashley Ruggieri to host a community Sound Bath this Sunday, September 7th, from 4:30–5:30 p.m. It’s an hour of grounding, restoration, and sound. What an incredible way to reset before a busy new week.

This is just for adults. Woot! Click HERE to register.

👻 Should We Host a Halloween Camp(ish)?

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of our special one-day Camp(ish) events, and we’re curious...should we bring back a Halloween Camp(ish) this October? Imagine spooky-fun projects, mindful movement, and a chance for kids to celebrate the season in our unique way.

👉 Parents, let us know if your child would be excited to attend! Your feedback helps us plan. Click HERE to cast your vote.

🖌️ Studio-to-Home Ritual

We’re refreshing our “Bring the Studio Home” section with simple creative rituals families can try together. This month’s activity:

Color Shifts

• Choose two colors: one that matches how you feel right now, and one that represents where you’d like to go next.

• Doodle, scribble, or draw with both colors.

• Share and talk about the shift—it’s a simple, playful way to practice mindfulness activities at home with kids.

💌 Closing Note

Thanks for letting us be a part of your child’s week. These small moments...paint on their hands, deep breaths on the mat, laughter with friends...add up to something so much bigger.

With gratitude,

Beth & the Creatively Balanced Team 💛
