What is keeping us from opening our Enid location??
1. A new roof that is still leaking! With the leaks is a humidity level over 70% so we cannot put down the dance floors or move in the pianos until the leaks are totally fixed. This situation has been turned to an attorneys office to negotiate a remedy to the situation.
Our plans are to still open in September! We are currently negotiating on a temporary location so that we can get open and start most of our classes. There will be some classes that will not be offered until we are in our permanent location at 800 W Broadway. When it is finished, we promise it will be a facility that will blow you away! If you have already given us your contact information on the form found on this website,we will be contacting you personally. If you have not submitted your information to us, please watch here for more details!

Everyone is asking
"When Are You Opening! We want to register!
Our first plan was to be open by October 2010, then the date was moved to January 2011. Now we are anticipating the opening of our music schoo, dance school and preschool in Septembert. So what are all of the delays? Well, a carpenter that did not follow through with his commitment; a complete sprinkler system and fire system that had to be repaired and is awaiting completion; a new roof that is still leaking so we cannot put down dance floors or bring in the pianos; a gas line feeding the heaters that broke on the roof, and we certainly hope there is nothing more!
One thing is for sure, when we open and start classes in our permanenet location, families will be blown away by this facility that includes five music studios, five dance rooms that are age appropriate, an art room, six educational rooms and more to be explored! The facility will offer security cameras in each teaching room and studio as well as parent viewing windows. A HID entry system will only allow those that are suppose to be there to enter. Our own private concert hall/theatre for small recitals is one thing that will set us apart from other experiences in the area!
The lobby area offers ample waiting space for parents to be able to watch their childs class on a monitor. Also included in the lobby are homework stations for students to work from while waiting for class or pickup, wifi for busy parents that bring their work with them, a coffee bar and restroom. Office personnel to assist with questions, concerns and needs will also be available during class times.
We want the facility to be the safe, welcoming, and enjoyable. We plan to offer staff and faculty that are background checked, drug tested and fully qualified to be teaching their methods.
So things are moving forward. Although at times it seems it takes forever. We are opening and we plan for it to be this fall! So we encourage you to fill out the contact form on this page so that you can be contacted personally abnout the opening and be the first to be able to register. Anyone submitting the form (which does not actually enroll you into a class) will receive a $25 tuition credit when they register. Registration for summer programs will begin May 15th online.
We know it seems like we are never going to get there, but we are! And we are proudly offering great classes in a facility that will make you go "WOW!" Keep watching this site and go to our Facebook page now for continued updates as we move alot closer to completion!
See you soon!

New Owners Still Excited About Coming To Enid!
Dear Enid Families,
We are excited to be a part of the Enid Community. This has been a planned dream for over two years as we searched for the just right location to bring you our version of arts based learning (Mary's business) and home services in electrical contracting and HVAC (Randy's businesses). We were so excited last spring when we found the property at 800 W Broadway. Everyone has been so welcoming.
Remodel of the building is coming to an end soon, even though we had some waiting time for certain things. Asking for cooperative weather and contracting to re-roof has been a bit of a struggle. The roof situation now stands that it still leaks and we are now seeking a solution to that. In the mean time, we are searching and working on a temporary location to start classes, while the roof issues are being settled.
Right now our target opening date for the school is October 1. To celebrate our new location and your trust and interest in what we are bringing to the Enid community, we are offering a pre-registration special that will give you a $25 tuition credit per child registered. Be sure to read further down te page to learn more about that! We are in the process of interviewing teachers and hope to have an actual schedule up very soon for you to look at.
We have owned a fine arts school in Woodward for 30 years and actively support the arts and education in our community.It is our intention to do the same in Enid. Our other residential businesses are considered a favored source for honest and up to date services for home and office when it comes to electrical and hvac needs. Over 35 years expert experience in that field means great service to our customers. Just as we have invested in Woodward, we see a great opportunity to invest in Enid as well and look forward to meeting you.
