What your child’s day will look like
Get ready for a fun-filled Summer Break Art Camp for kids aged 4-11, packed with creative activities and projects! Welcome to Small Steps Art Studio! Our mission is to guide children in building a strong foundation of artistic skills and understanding. By exploring tools and materials, kids develop the confidence, curiosity, and creativity needed to bring their ideas to life. Through the use of resourced and recycled materials, we encourage sustainable practices and make art accessible, encouraging children to create wherever they are.

DeeDee Charles
Instructor
I moved from Hollywood, Florida, to Oakland to attend California College of the Arts, where I earned my BFA in Photography. I spent years photographing children's sports and school portraits, capturing milestones and memories. In 2016 I transitioned into childcare, drawn to the community and connection that comes with working closely with kids. During the pandemic, while running a learning pod, I found myself naturally incorporating art into our days—bringing supplies, encouraging creative expression, and watching kids gain confidence through making. That experience ignited my passion for sharing art, leading me to open Small Steps Art Studio.
