​​"Where Every Child’s Light Shines Bright"
Our Kiss Is 4Kidz program is dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs, and those impacted by unique life circumstances, through the creative and performing arts.
​
Founded by Tshlene Henreid and Marci Burton, Kiss Is 4Kidz began as a heartfelt collaboration between artists, educators, and parents who shared one vision: to create a safe, joyful space where every person, regardless of age, background, or ability, could express themselves freely and feel celebrated for who they are.
​
With over 50 years of combined experience in the performing arts and more than 30 years of hands-on experience working with the special needs community, our instructors bring both passion and expertise to every class. Students explore dance, music, acting, and creative arts, discovering not only their talents, but also their confidence, voice, and sense of belonging.
​
At Kiss Is 4Kidz, art becomes more than performance, it becomes transformation. Through creativity, we help students turn disabilities into special abilities, and challenges into opportunities for growth and pride.
​
Every smile, every step, every note reminds us of our purpose...to touch one heart at a time, to inspire big dreams, and to show the world that when we shine together,
we make magic.
God didn’t take away my ability, he expanded it.
Now, instead of dancing in the spotlight, I help others find
their own.

"Because Every Child Is
a Masterpiece"
Color Me Bright is a vibrant extension of our mission, a creative arts program that gives kids of all abilities the freedom to explore, express, and discover their inner artist.
​
From painting and crafts to music, dance, and storytelling, Color Me Bright offers a joyful space where creativity knows no boundaries. Each class is thoughtfully designed to nurture imagination, fine motor skills, and emotional growth while building confidence, friendships, and pride in every brushstroke, beat, and movement.
​
Our team of compassionate instructors and volunteers guide students through projects that encourage self-expression and celebrate individuality. Whether it’s painting a dream, dancing to their own rhythm, writing poetry, or building something beautiful, every child leaves feeling seen, capable, and proud of their creation.
​
With our Color Me Bright program, we don’t just teach art, we celebrate it as a language of joy, connection, and endless possibility.
​
Because when kids create without limits, the world becomes their canvas.
