It will be 2 years this December since my child has been attending ArtBeast preschool program! Not to brag but he was their first student so I think that is a pretty good qualification in rating this place. Our experience with this program has been nothing but love. They genuinely care for the children, and create a safe place both physically and emotionally. There are so many activities offered throughout the day so the kids never get bored. My initial fear in putting my child into a new environment was quickly quieted once I met all the wonderful teachers. The actual space is beautiful as there are activities designated to different areas of the facility. These include: mud kitchen in the backyard, art on the main floor, dance studio upstairs, fire truck room, and plenty of comfy corners to read a book, just to name a few! If you're on the fence I recommend at least taking a tour of the preschool. You won't find a more inclusive and welcoming space elsewhere. My family has had a wonderful experience, and we look forward to many more memories to be had at ArtBeast.

I cannot say enough good things about Art Beast. Our daughter had started at another more mainstream daycare and after months of all day every day crying, we knew we had to find something else. Art Beast had just opened as a childcare center and we secured her a spot as fast as we could, scared that this magical place would never have an opening again. She was happy there within days because of the love and nurture that she received from the teachers. It brings me to tears knowing that we will have to leave this community. She has grown in so many ways thanks to the education and emotional support she's received from everyone here. They are so intentional in everything they do with the kids, and we will be forever grateful for that. She's entering the world with a solid foundation because of their incredible care.

We used to come here with my oldest daughter to PLAY!!! When we found out post COVID it shifted to a preschool we were stoked to enroll my son! He has SO much fun at Art Beast. I love that it is play based and follows a daily rhythm. Most of the preschools we looked like felt and looked like jail--very rigid schedules, in a fishbowl, and not inviting. Art Beast is the complete opposite, it feels like home, respects the whole child all while being engaging and fun while learning!! Highly recommend Art Beast.

Great place for toddlers!Total hidden gem in midtown of Sacramento. Looks small on the outside, but this place is pretty spacious with lots of hands on activities for the kids. ArtBeast is appropriate for toddlers, wouldn't recommend this place for older children. My son really enjoyed the lower floor where there were costumes for him to play in and a stage to pretend he was performing a magic show. Other activities included a rocket ship, boat, kitchenette and a piano! The upstairs floor had really cool art activities from paint, markers to dough! Best of all, you can bring your kid's artwork home with you after! There's a really cute fire truck with firefighter gears also. Staff here are very generous and super attentive to make sure the workstations are cleaned and stocked with the essentials. Pricing is $8 for admission. Children 1 and under are free.

ArtBeast Studio is so cute and fun. My son had a blast here and didn't want to leave. They have so many rooms filled with unique and fun activities for your child to stay busy with. Downstairs you will find a music, reading and costume room. The second floor all the arts and crafts (painting, clay, shapes, sand, etc). On the second floor there is a backward, in the backyard you will find water and sand activities . Upstairs there is a dance room, lego room and infant room (18 months and younger). Everything is so clean and no rowdy kids running around. Staff is super friendly and keeps maintenance up on all the rooms. It's super cheap $8/person but they offer membership here too and I will be looking into the membership program since my son loved it here!

I've been meaning to visit this summer with the kiddo but never made it. So on an extremely hot day we drove down to Sacramento and first off, so glad their AC was kickin. The kiddo is 5. He's not the most creative or imaginative little fella. He needs a little push to get there. I want him to explore that side of him more so this was a great place for that. He loved the indoor sand area. He played with the playdough and clay. We made paper crowns and wrote our letters with paint on the walls. He enjoyed the downstairs imagination area. I think he would have a better time if I bought a friend for him and they would be able to play for hours.In the end it was $16 for both. There's street parking available. The employees mainly stuck to themselves but were constantly cleaning up after children and did a great job making the place clean and welcoming. If I was in the area and the weather was bad, I'd come back.

You know those times when you could swear you've written a review already because, uh, why wouldn't you have? You freakin' love that place! Well, this is one of those times. I freakin' love ArtBeast.I mean, it has been said so many times already in previous reviews, but this place is magic. Screw Disneyland, this has to be one of the happiest places on earth. No hour-long lines. No gouging your bank account for admission that's just WAY too expensive. No kids begging for another piece of Disney merchandise. Why is this? Well, because there is no need to line up for anything here. It's all about exploration, sharing, cooperation, creation etc. etc. It costs $8 per person (adults buy-one-get-one). Pretty much everything is there for kids to touch, use and or take. Let them run free! Let them play! Let them eat glue! Or not...but this really just is a beautiful place where kids AND parents can be happy. And they invest in the community at large. Like you thought it couldn't get better, but it did.If you haven't been, GO. (If you don't have kids, you can borrow mine.)

I'm all about indoor place places that don't include a trampoline or jumpy houses!!! ArtBeast let's your children explore three levels of fun play places. I came in on a weekday afternoon around 3:30 and admission was $8 for all 3 of us (my two boys ages 6 &9). Prices:Eh. I've been to similar play places in Berkeley (Studio Grow) that were the same. I'll take it, if my kids were able to stay until closing timeOpen Play:The concept at ArtBeast is awesome. You and your child are free to explore, from musical instruments, a dramatic play stage and puppets downstairs, to the 2nd floor of art and crafts, clay, and paint, to a cozy room with more imagination!Nowa days our overscheduled and overstimulated children need to start using their imaginations. ArtBeast creates the space for you and your child to inspire open-ended thinking and encourage kids to see the fun alternatives then just the screen.

My triplets have just finished a year and a half and now they are on the kindergarten. Art beast has been great for our family! Bianca and her team have always been very loving and supportive of our three daughters and they loved their days there , playing and doing many arts and crafts. I particularly like the outdoor activities, and you get updated every day with pictures of one of the most precious times in your childs life.Another key feature of this day care is that they Invite the parents to share in their own community which has been a major plus. All of the other parents there have been equally involved and very great to be around.As a note, we had experienced other daycare options on Sacramento that were not as good a fit, so this comes with some perspective. Art Beasts' play based learning has helped our girls grow and we will miss them greatly.

My daughter has been going to Art Beast since she was 2 and has been there for 1.5 years now. We absolutely love it there! The rate at which she's learning has been surprising to us and she is so happy playing and exploring every day. The teachers and staff are genuinely caring and very communicative. We feel lucky to be a part of the Art Beast community and have our daughter grow there.
