At Silver Spring Studio, impact isn't measured in reports - it's felt in the confidence of a participant who tried something new, the pride of a family watching their person flourish, and the friendships built around a shared love of making things. These are their stories.

Life at Silver Spring Studio

Every class is a chance to create, connect, and grow.

Warm and caring environment for being creative in a supportive and welcoming atmosphere. A space to come and relax, to be social at your own pace; a place to just be yourself. My daughter enjoys coming to the programs and it is not easy to find programs that she actually wants to attend. The staff are experienced and lovely. The recipes are fantastic and there is often something wonderful to take home with you. We highly recommend this program.

Ania and Rachael

When we visited Silver Spring Studio for the first time, we felt right away that our son would be welcomed by the staff and the whole environment they have created. Our son had the opportunity to participate in many different activities, stimulating his creativity, curiosity, and a sense of feeling that he can make a contribution. The positive experience during the summer has allowed him to pursue a CO-OP placement where he could develop further his social and working skills in a safe and welcoming environment.

I love Silver Spring Studio. I can display my artwork to sell, I see my friends and I love the staff — they are amazing!
