About Us
Ai Studios was founded to address the needs of parents and the community at large. Our Founder, Antoinette, a mother of four, saw that many important child development classes in the arts and similar areas were being eliminated due to strict budgetary constraints. Many parents voiced their desire to continue to develop their children’s education beyond the basic curriculum in order to more fully prepare them for the future. Ai Studios builds children’s physical and educational life-skills, which are necessary to prepare and empower them for future leadership in their communities and to achieve success in their personal lives.
We provide excellent personalized teaching and guidance in the form of enrichment programs for children of all ages to develop a child’s character by challenging them to always strive to do better. Through the discovery and development of their innate talents and abilities, children are able to enhance their cognitive, motor, and critical thinking skills. We believe that the arts are an important expression of one’s individuality and that in a supportive and nurturing environment a child’s potential is bound to flourish.
Enrichment classes have proven to help students enhance their creativity, improve their power of concentration, develop and expand critical thinking skills, boost memory and retention, and achieve superior academic performance. Additionally, they have been shown to augment problem-solving capabilities, provide cultural enrichment, advance intellectual maturity, and enhance self-esteem.
Our mission is to enrich a child’s self-expression by providing a creative and safe environment that is always inspirational, fostering the acquisition of new skills in a creative and challenging manner to develop independent thinking.
About the Founder
Hello, my name is Antoinette. As a mother of four with a passion for the Arts, I was inspired to start an educational enrichment program to provide children of all ages the opportunity to enrich their lives through art. With over 20 years experience developing after school and enrichment programs and a Fine Arts and Education degree from William Paterson University, I’ve been able to connect with hundreds of parents in the Tri-State Area to create positive experiences that influence children to become the best students they can be and to be better prepared for the future. Both as a mother and as a teacher, I understand the need for fullness in children’s lives, which is why I created a series of diverse enrichment programs to provide a safe and structured environment for students without logistical stress to parents.
