On the many, many reasons to celebrate
Dear Kid Labbers,
On September 1st, we celebrate our 1 year birthday as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Many of you know this year’s wild journey that has brought us to this point and given us so much to celebrate. For those who don’t, a bit of backstory.
February 2014 kid lab is born
The seedling of the idea for Kid Lab was born out of a desire to connect with other parents (I had a newborn at the time), find a creative outlet, and share play ideas and resources with other families.
January 2016 - September 2018 Art Classes
Kid Lab began to take shape as I offered art classes and summer camps, mostly out of my home.
September 2018 Nonprofit Status!
Kid Lab officially became a 501(c)3 nonprofit! We began operating as a department of a parent organization called Artists in Community Transformation International.
October - December 2018 Assembly Pop-up
Kid Lab hosted pop-up classes in the Warehouse District Assembly space.
January - August 2019 Team is growing
Kid Lab launched new programs and added members to our team.
August 2019 Downtown location
Effective August 31st, our Kid Lab HQ is at 111 E Hargett St, in the Read With Me bookstore. We’re so excited!
What a year, amiright? We have thankful hearts and a staff who’s ready to party! Come join us THIS SATURDAY (8/31) from 2-4 at our new Hargett St. digs. Cookies, crafts, raffles and the Kid Lab spirit we can’t wait to bring you more of!
Thank YOU, Kid Labbers for making this year one our team will never forget.
See you soon, for our next chapter together!
