The curricula are vast and eclectic-everything from Spanish tutoring to fa­shion design to theater arts to wheel pottery to fi­tness to cartooning to glass bead-­making-at this kid-cademy founded by bubbly owner Katie Opher and her husband Ron. The lively instructors also oversee summer camps and “date nights” at which parents can drop off their offspring. There are classes for special-needs kids, too, including art and music therapy and social-skill building.
