Creative Wiz Kids was founded in 1990 in New York City by Frances Bildner, a professional painter with exhibitions in Europe and the U.S. Her philosophy, "learning through play not pressure," drives the centre's approach. Recognising the importance of nurturing children's natural curiosity and creativity, Frances established Creative Wiz Kids to offer playgroups that focus on child-centred learning and expression. Now based in London, the centre is renowned for its high standards and creative environment. The emphasis is on the artistic process, whether in art, dancing, or acting, allowing children to benefit from the joy of making. Frances Bildner, an artist and poet, runs the programme in Hampstead and Notting Hill with a dedicated team, all sharing a passion for arts and creativity.
