“5 STARS! My kiddo is having an amazing time in this program! Well thought out and creative lessons for each class. My kiddo gets lots of personalized attention and comes home with lots of positive feedback.”
~ Naomi
“We love Alameda Makering! My 7-year old artistic kiddo has really enjoyed the diversity of all of her favorite things (gardening, crafting & cooking). Ms. Deneese has a creative list of activities week after week and is incredibly patient and engaging. My daughter comes home incredibly proud of the things that she has learned and created. Such a joy to have Alameda Makering a part of our weekly schedule!”

“Thank you to my dear friends, Jennifer & Emma, and all the amazing young makers who made the photoshoot a huge success! You showcased the creativity and community at the heart of our program. I am grateful to all of you!

“Special thanks to my neighbor and friend, Jackie, for the yarn. It was perfect for our storage can project.”

“A heartfelt thanks to my friend Tina, who generously donated her mom Vickie’s craft supplies. Vickie was an avid crafter, and I imagine she’d be proud to see her materials inspire young makers.”

“Thank you to my friend Sol, who has been collecting and donating terra cotta pots for our maker’s garden.”

“A big thank you to my friend Jen B who is a remarkable maker, fixer, and doer! She inspires me to be brave and reminds me it’s OK to ask for help.”
