THE ART FARM NYC'S STORY
The Art Farm NYC early education learning center was founded in 2002 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Valentina Hantke is our founder and has served as our executive director since the beginning. She continuously creates and innovates new programs and classes for kids throughout the year. Valentina has a degree in music education and has either created or had a strong hand in all of The Art Farm NYC's original curriculum. Our staff also includes talented individuals who hold degrees in early childhood education, animal sciences, and have experience that ranges from working at The Bronx Zoo to serving on the NYC Board of Education. Valentina resides in New Jersey with her husband and three children.
"It has been such a joy to create The Art Farm NYC and to grow along with the families that have participated in our programs over the years. I look forward to meeting you and your children and making wonderful memories."
