Inspiring the artist in every child Abrakadoodle is a remarkable, innovative arts education program for children ages 2 to 12 years old designed by noted educator Mary Rogers and artist/author Lori Schue. Abrakadoodle's unique program combines imaginative learning activities using high quality Crayola brand products. Abrakadoodle is a home-managed business, which allows us to keep the entry cost and ongoing expenses low. Programs are offered at schools, community centers and other convenient locations.

A high growth market... Over the last decade, there has been an increased awareness of the benefits of early childhood education and arts education. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of early intervention in education. Parents seek opportunities for their children to learn and develop skills at an early age, continuing through elementary school. This increased awareness has been coupled with a cutting of funds in education, especially in the areas of art and physical education. In some areas of the country, programs in these areas have been cut completely, requiring parents to seek alternative programs. According to The National Arts Education Association, approximately 45% of public schools do not have a full-time visual arts teacher. Based on this, our concept is continuing to expand nationwide.

Experienced management team... Our management team has already grown and developed the popular Computertots program that has provided classes to over a million children. Mary Rogers, co-founder of Computertots leads our experienced management team. This team has extensive experience in education, art, business development, public relations, building strategic alliances and franchise training and support.

Programs are offered for:

• Twoosy Doodlers is for children ages 20-36 months. This is usually the child's first formal exploration of art and focuses upon experimentation with a variety of materials.
  
• Mini Doodlers is for children ages 3 to Kindergarten. Children will develop their creative side through carefully designed lessons that ignite the imagination, foster creativity and develop skills.
  
• Doodlers is for children in grades 1 - 6. Children create their own unique masterpieces through painting, drawing and exploring creative materials.
  In addition, we also offer a comprehensive art education program that is part of the school day, providing schools with an attractive alternative to hiring, training and supervising their own art teachers.
