Rene Czika is the founder of Created by Kids, a company that reflects both her creative ambitions as well as her life long passion for teaching children. After graduating from Columbus College of Art and Design with a BFA, Rene moved to Tempe, AZ and began working for a small company teaching pottery techniques to children of all ages.
A year later, after relocating to Washington, DC, she became an assistant teacher at Silver Spring Day School, where she truly fell in love with being part of a team in classroom setting. Both students and parents alike raved about the after school clay program, and after teaching in DC for 3 years Rene made the decision to move to NYC and start her own educational business.
With these experiences in mind, Created by Kids was born, offering services to children throughout Brooklyn. Of her unique, fun and innovative classes, Rene says, “I feel lucky to integrate both imagination and creativity into a child’s development. I am fortunate to be doing what I am passionate about and am excited to continue to expand my business in new directions.

Emily has had a passion for embracing creativity in her community since she was young. This passion drove her to pursue a BA in studio art at Ithaca College where she also crafted her own minor with education and psychology courses to learn about how to meet both a group’s and an individual’s needs within a classroom environment. She fulfilled this pursuit while briefly studying art history and education in Barcelona, where she had the transformative experience of volunteering as an ESL teacher in a local public school. With painting as her primary medium, Emily is excited to bring what she’s learned from working as a teacher and as an artist to CBK!
