At The Little Studio, we are dedicated to fostering children’s confidence, joy, and self-expression through art.
The Little Studio was founded by Michelle Fleck in 2016 as a place for children to develop their confidence and self-expression through art. We focus on exploration of real artist's materials like paint, watercolor, clay, sewing and textile arts, and other open-ended mediums. The Little Studio provides a warm and nurturing small-group setting that fosters social interaction, creative problem-solving skills, play, laughter and joy. We are proud to offer small teacher-child ratios to allow for lots of 1-on-1 support. All of our warm and dedicated teachers have years of experience in the education field.

Michelle is a teacher, mom, artist and muralist, and has a degree in Fine Art from San Francisco State University and an Early Childhood Director Certification, as well as over 15 years experience teaching young children in various settings. Michelle has been a teacher in many programs in San Francisco, including as a Head Teacher at One Fifty Parker Avenue School for 12 years.
