About me

Hi, I'm Jen, the founder of Imagination Station and a passionate advocate for the role of arts and crafts in early childhood development. With a background in early childhood education and many years of hands-on experience, I've witnessed firsthand how creative activities can shape a child’s growth. Imagination Station is my way of bringing those experiences to life, creating a supportive, imaginative environment where children can explore, learn, and develop foundational skills that will benefit them for a lifetime.


I believe that art is far more than just a fun activity—it’s an incredibly powerful tool for development. Through our carefully curated projects, children build fine motor skills essential for things like writing and self-care, and they also learn to problem-solve creatively, a skill that serves them well into adulthood. I design each session to balance guided activity with open-ended exploration, allowing kids to express themselves freely while enhancing coordination, focus, and resilience.

As both a mother and an educator, I’ve seen the transformative power of creativity in a child’s life. At Imagination Station, each craft and activity has a purpose, aimed at helping children engage with their emotions, build self-confidence, and develop social skills. Through teamwork and sharing, children learn empathy and collaboration, and they also develop patience, focus, and pride in their creations—all essential skills for personal growth and social interactions.

Creating a welcoming, inclusive space is central to my approach at Imagination Station. Every child deserves the opportunity to express themselves and learn through play, so I make sure our classes and kits invite all children to join in the fun. We offer group classes, special workshops, and take-home kits for parents to explore creativity alongside their children, reinforcing the skills learned in class and making art a shared experience that brings families closer together.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Imagination Station is more than just a creative space—it’s a place where children’s dreams and talents can thrive, where learning feels like play, and where every activity is designed to nurture confident, compassionate, well-rounded individuals. I’m so excited to be on this path with you, sharing the magic of creativity and helping your child unlock their incredible potential.
