About Abrakadoodle Franchise

In 2002, building upon a love of education, a passion for art as well as a growing need, Mary Rogers and Rosemarie Hartnett developed an innovative comprehensive art education program called Abrakadoodle. They initially launched the program at schools and community sites in Northern Virginia and discovered that it was a hit. Both co-founders bring a wealth of experience in delivering quality educational programming to kids and recognized that Abrakadoodle was a great fit for franchising. They knew there was a void in comprehensive children’s visual art education that also fosters a child’s imagination.

Many schools have cut back on art programs. This is disappointing because properly delivered art instruction is a way to stimulate young minds in important ways that go far beyond painting, designing, or sculpting.

Abrakadoodle applies solid educational principles, great teaching practices, stimulating activities, and high-quality materials. Best of all, it’s FUN for kids!  Children around the world just love the program because it is enjoyable, builds upon their natural curiosity, and lets them explore in imaginative ways.

And by early 2013, more than one million Kids have participated in Abrakadoodle programs. All of us at Abrakadoodle are pleased to help children immerse themselves in creative pursuits filled with doodles, color, designs, squiggles, and giggles.
