Art Cart Kids is Turning 1!
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but Imagination."
- Albert Einstein
Imagine your child walking into a colorful, welcoming studio, eyes lighting up at the sight of shelves filled with art supplies. A smile grows as the teacher warmly asks, “What would you like to do first?”
With just eight children in the class, your child will receive personal attention and guidance as they plan and create their own project, choosing materials and using their imagination to bring it to life.
At the end of class, they’ll leave with pride, eager to share their artwork with the family.

Welcome to Art Cart Kids

Hi I am Stephanie Cox
I am the owner and children's art teacher for Art CartKids. I have been in business since 2019, but I opened our permanent location at 77 Bells Hill Rd. in Stafford, VA in October of 2023.
I’ve been a licensed teacher since 1995, starting in Los Angeles, California. Over the years, I’ve taught in public, private, and charter schools, working with students from Pre-K to 8th grade. I’m licensed in general education, ESOL, and art, and I hold a Master’s in Educational Administration, which has been a great asset in running Art Cart Kids.
Owning & teaching for Art Cart Kids is my dream job and working with YOUR child to imagine and create unique pieces of art is part of that dream! I can't wait to meet your child.

Our Clients Say
Hi! We LOVED coming for creative play today! Thank you again so, so much for altering the schedule so the girls could make mermaid art. They really had a blast, and it meant a lot to me that you tailored your plans to us. It was so special. I really enjoyed chatting with you and seeing you interact with the kids as they worked, too. You are so patient and willing to let them make their art their way. I struggle with that as a mom, so this was great for all of us! I've attached a picture of the girls with their mermaid necklaces. They were playing with them all afternoon and did not want to take them off for bedtime!
Thanks again, we will definitely see you again soon!
