Meet Paula

The Magen David Yeshivah Art Teacher Who Paints at Your Dining Table

Paula Schneider teaches art at Magen David Yeshivah in Brooklyn — and brings the same classroom to your home for kids' painting classes and birthday parties.

If your kids go to Magen David Yeshivah, there's a decent chance they already know Paula. She's the art teacher — the one whose room smells like paint and whose students walk out holding something they actually made.

What most parents don't know is that Paula also comes to houses. Same teacher, same patience, same real materials — set up at your dining table instead of a classroom. Weekly classes, birthday parties, playdates, whatever your family needs.

Teaching art to a room full of kids every day changes how you run a class. Paula doesn't hand out coloring sheets. She teaches the thing itself: how to load a brush, how watercolor moves when the paper is wet, why you leave white space. Kids from three to sixteen, each at their own level.

She covers your table, brings every supply, and cleans up after herself. You bring nothing but the kids.

Her own work — the pours, the portraits, the commissions — is all over this site and her Instagram. The teacher paints. That matters more than any activity kit ever will.

If you're in Brooklyn — Gravesend, Midwood, Ocean Parkway, anywhere nearby — call or text 646-262-2794, or book right on this site. She'll build the class around your kids.
