Preschool: Mess Makers


Classes for Youth / Preschool -
Winter 2026- Youth

Ages 3-5. Register under the child’s name. Calling all mess makers! Do you love things that ooze, goo, and gloop? Get ready to splatter, squish, and smear as you team up with new friends to create gloriously gooey, wildly colorful art. The messier, the better! Participants should be comfortable without their adult in the room.


Sliding Fees: Our model for program pricing ensures that our high-quality enrichment classes are more accessible to our community members. We encourage participants to choose the price that they are able to pay. This structure helps our programs be financially sustainable and more equitable.

Alicia Gustafson


Alicia finds so much joy in working with young children and is inspired by the curiosity and excitement they bring to everything. She worked as a classroom teacher for kindergarten and Pre-K for 10 years, seven of those being in SPPS. She loves helping children explore, create, and fall in love with learning!

Alicia lives in Saint Paul with her husband and son, and can be found walking or riding bikes through the city, playing at playgrounds, or enjoying ice cream at Nellies, Cold Front, or Two Scoops.
