HOUSTON, Texas – Young Rembrandts has etched its name as the leading childhood art enrichment program with the recent opening of a new location that brings its proprietary art education curriculum to more kids in southwest Houston.
Locally owned and operated by franchisee Sonja Traxler Nwabuoku, the new Young Rembrandts location serves the greater Houston area, including Richmond, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Rosenberg, Stafford, Fulshear, southwest Houston and parts of Pearland and Katy. This opening builds on the momentum of a sensational national campaign celebrating the brand’s 30th anniversary in 2018, positioning Young Rembrandts to become the recognized leader in art education in greater southwest Houston.
“I am passionate about serving my community and building a profitable business that provides an important service, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Young Rembrandts family while introducing our innovative curriculum to southwest Houston and its suburbs,” said Nwabuoku. “Young Rembrandts allows me to put my business education and skills to work, but for an inspiring cause and curriculum I know will make a big difference for kids in greater Houston. Further, it gives me the opportunity to provide an important skill to children and part-time employment for many in the community as well.”
A unique art enrichment program that solely focuses on cognitive development through drawing, Young Rembrandts is based on the belief that when foundational art skills are taught to preschoolers and elementary students, there is a strong correlation between that involvement in the arts and future strong academic performance and personal achievement.
Nwabuoku brings a love for children’s education and a strong background in corporate finance and marketing to her new Young Rembrandts business. After earning her teaching certificate and volunteering with programs specializing in mentoring children while furthering her corporate career, Nwabuoku decided Young Rembrandts was the perfect way for her to combine her corporate experience with her passion for providing vital services in her community, and connecting young people with art and learning.
“Every time we open a new location, we have the opportunity to showcase the passion and dedication our franchisees bring to the students and communities they serve – I am confident that Sonja will continue this legacy,” added Fetter. “I know that Sonja will make an outstanding new member of the Young Rembrandts family, and her commitment to teaching the children of southwest Houston will make this new location a crucial partner in helping children develop cognitively and discover their inner artist.”
The opening in southwest Houston is part of the brand’s strategic growth initiative, as Young Rembrandts targets 20 to 25 more signed agreements through 2019, in addition to the southwest Houston opening this year.
Through its unique methodology that gives kids the confidence to create skilled artwork, Young Rembrandts helps boost cognitive development, hand-eye coordination, spatial learning and critical thinking skills. Unlike many other childhood art enrichment programs, Young Rembrandts provides students with a tangible takeaway project with each lesson. Students are able to learn a new technique and complete an exceptional piece of artwork within a single class period.
