Serious skills
through serious fun.
Where children build confidence, creativity, friendships, and real‑world skills through entrepreneurship, arts, robotics, movement, and hands‑on experiences they'll actually look forward to.
Built for the problems every Lamorinda parent knows.
We're parents too. VentureKids exists because the current options don't add up, and our kids deserve better than a packed calendar and a glowing screen.
Driving to 5 different places for 5 different classes.
Energetic kids with nowhere to burn it off.
Bored at school; hungry to learn, but not like that.
Picky at the table, but always hungry for snacks and ice cream.
Nothing holds their attention like an iPad.
Knowledge should be fun to learn, not forced.
We believe children learn best when they are engaged, excited, and having fun.
Business, finance, management, critical thinking, problem solving, public speaking, robotics, AI, coding: they all sound so serious and so hard for kids. But what if we could make these lessons more fun than screen time?
What if your child would rather build a business plan, design a marketing campaign, decide who to hire, plan how to scale, and pitch to our Sharks (parent volunteers) to win real money, than bury her face in an iPad?
That's how we raise an entrepreneur kid.
Five disciplines. One curious child.
Every program is designed so children show up for the fun and walk away with the skills schools rarely have time to teach.
Business & Entrepreneurship
Learn moreChildren might create a game to play with friends, trade toys, recruit players, run a fresh-squeezed juice stand, brainstorm real-life problems, and pitch in the VentureKids Shark Tank.
- Shark Tank Pitches

- Painting & Drawing
- Comics & Screenwriting
- Theater & Drama
- Exhibitions
Creativity, confidence, communication, and self-expression.
Robotics, AI & Coding
Learn moreChildren might build a robot, fly a drone, learn how to ask AI the right questions, design inventions, and solve engineering challenges with their own hands.
- Robotics
- Drones
- AI Prompts
- Engineering Challenges
Hands-on learning through experimentation and discovery.
Montessori STEM
Learn moreMany kids don't naturally love math, usually because of how it was taught. Our Montessori curriculum introduces math through exploration, games, manipulatives, puzzles, and hands-on materials that make it intuitive and enjoyable.
- Manipulatives
- Math Games
- Logic Puzzles
- Real-World Problems
Children understand the why behind every number.
Movement & Kids BJJ
Learn moreMovement and physical confidence are core to VentureKids. Through movement games, wrestling, martial arts, teamwork, and friendships, children develop strength, coordination, focus, resilience, and a real sense of progress as they earn belts and crush milestones.
- Kids BJJ
- Movement Games
- Strength & Coordination
- Belt Progression
Children leave stronger, both physically and emotionally.
Five disciplines. One ecosystem.
We didn't pick five subjects at random. Each one quietly feeds the others, so a child learning to pitch a business is also strengthening math, art, engineering, and the physical confidence to stand on stage.
Business
Pitching a Shark Tank idea demands the storytelling of Art, the logic of Math, the tools of Robotics & AI, and the confidence built in Movement.
Art & Performance
Designing a product, a brand, or a stage performance gives Business its voice, Math its visual patterns, and Robotics its creative spark.
Robotics, AI & Coding
Building robots and prompting AI turns Math into a tool, Art into interactive design, and Business ideas into working prototypes.
Montessori STEM
Math is the quiet engine: pricing a lemonade stand, programming a robot, composing symmetry in art, scoring a sparring round.
Movement & BJJ
Strength, focus, and resilience on the mat power every other discipline: the courage to pitch, perform, prototype, and persist.
Every skill makes the next one easier.
Business needs Art to tell its story. Art needs Math for rhythm and proportion. Math becomes alive through Robotics. Robotics needs the patience built on the mat. Movement gives a child the courage to walk back into the boardroom and pitch again.
The skills that shape a life.

A place children can't wait to come.
To create a place where children can't wait to come, where friendships are formed, confidence grows, and learning feels like an adventure.

That's a VentureKid.
