Hi, I’m Julie, the founder and franchisor of Dot Kids Art Inspiration. If we haven’t met yet, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
Dot Kids didn’t begin as a business plan or a marketing strategy. It began as a heart-pull, a deep and personal belief that art has the power to change lives.
For me, art is not just about creating something beautiful to look at. It’s about discovering who you are. And I started Dot Kids because I believe every child deserves that opportunity.
Why Dot Kids Exists
After nearly two decades in education, I saw something again and again:
-
📦 Children feeling boxed in by perfectionism
-
🎭 Pressured to perform
-
🪞 Comparing themselves to others
-
💭 Struggling with self-belief
-
⏳ And increasingly, no time or space to ‘just be’
Creative freedom was disappearing.
That’s where Dot Kids comes in.
At Dot Kids, we’re not about “perfect pictures” or cookie-cutter outcomes where every child produces the same thing.
We’re about process over product.
Expression over expectation.
Art as a tool for self-discovery, confidence, emotional literacy, and well-being.
What Happens in a Dot Kids Session?
During every Dot Kids session, whether it’s an after-school club, an art workshop, or our Therapeutic Art Nurture Sessions, are carefully designed to support the whole child.
✨ Children are encouraged to explore their own ideas
✨ Mistakes are welcomed as part of the creative journey
✨ Each voice is heard and celebrated
✨ Art becomes a way to connect with emotions and learn emotional literacy
We believe creativity is not just for the “talented”. It’s for everyone. Especially children who need to feel seen, heard, and safe to be themselves.
