      The Grandparents take my daughter to the Mini Masters because I work. She loves it she is 2 and they always go above and beyond. At Halloween they had a party for all of the kids. We did not know the kids needed to dress up. The staff pulled together a wonderful outfit for my daughter so she would not feel left out. They made great treat bags and all the kids got to go around and trick or treat the staff. The program is well organized and a great learning experience. They love the kids and what they are doing and it shows. I love that my little one is learning at an early age to appreciate art. I also love that she gets to spend special time with her wonderful Grandparents. Collapse
