What Studio Bella for Kids, LLC does

Studio Bella for Kids, LLC is a Dallas, Texas-based STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) enrichment center that has operated continuously since its founding in 2008 by Tammy Bardwell. The company serves children from PreK through 6th grade through hands-on enrichment programming delivered primarily on public elementary school campuses.

The core product is the "Explorers" afterschool program, priced at $276 per month, which operates directly on three Dallas Independent School District (DISD) elementary school campuses — Hexter, Sanger, and Reilly — plus a main studio location at White Rock United Methodist Church. The company is State of Texas licensed for childcare, which is required for on-campus enrichment operation. Additional offerings include summer camps, birthday parties, themed workshops, the STEAM Kits @Home retail product line, and Full STEAM @Home on-demand video content. The company maintains a partnership with Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas (GSNETX) for collaborative programming.

The business model is bootstrapped and asset-light, with no external funding rounds disclosed, 8 employees, and revenue generated across subscription afterschool tuition, seasonal camp fees, event bookings, merchandise sales, and digital content distribution. Geographic reach is concentrated in the East Dallas trade area, and growth has been incremental through the addition of a third campus and the introduction of at-home and digital product extensions to the core in-person curriculum.
