About Us

About P.S KARMA

Welcome To P.S. KARMA

You will not find another business like ours in the DMV Area. It’s a fact that we are a professional company and are recognized as one of the most creative, child empowering companies. We have a passion for empowering our students and giving them multiple avenues for self-expression. This sets us apart from other Arts & Crafts companies and we’re standing by to take care of your Arts & Crafts needs.

P.S.~KARMA is not just a business, it is a movement. We are a movement of many motions and believe every child should benefit from self-expression. We strongly believe our children need to feel and know they are important. We also believe in offering as much mental and emotional support as we can give. We teach children arts and crafts and the importance of uniqueness through abstract art. We teach children that it is okay to be different, and we give them the tools they need to thrive on being different.

Our Value

Brighter Future through Art

The first movement is the mission to make sure every child knows they are great at something. We offer sampler classes that allow the children to experience different hobbies and even take on a new hobby if something sticks with them. We understand that all children are not going to be great at sports, music, cheerleading, and other common enrichment club activities that are available to the children. We are in place to reach those children that may not thrive in the typical things. We are in place to make sure the children that have no interest in sports and music, etc.. have a place too. We are here to make sure every child can have the opportunity to feel accomplished and satisfied from doing something they love and are great at.

Our classes also offer art tailored to the Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia Building Blocks of learning. We work with all age groups. We give the children tons of opportunities to work on fine motor skills and curriculum related art. With P.S.~KARMA, it’s not just learning, it’s a Magical Experience. After all, Kids Are Really Magical Artists!

About The Founder

Charity Rankins

I want to change the world, one child at a time. There is nothing like having a trusted adult that is not Mom or Dad, or even the Teacher, to help you cope with adverse experiences that you may or may not recognize. P.S.~KARMA puts an extra role model in place for support and to provide tools that will allow the students to be the best learners and individuals that they can be.

 
I have always believed that children should have a voice and will continue to stress the importance of allowing their voices to be heard.  I want to make sure students know that regardless of what society imposes, it is completely okay to COLOR OUTSIDE OF THE LINES. There is nothing like having your voice heard through self-expression.  To the average eye, self-expression looks like verbal communication, or even poetry or writing, but it is so much more than that.  Your voice can be heard through simply creating.  The colors that a child chooses or even the things that a child is great at creating can speak volume.
 
P.S.~KARMA practices acceptance therapy.  This simply means that instead of being so hard on yourself when you make a mistake, start the acknowledgment off by telling yourself that it is okay. I also teach the students to know that acceptance is only part of the process. Accountability is a very important step in mistakes. Sometimes it’s not even ourselves that should be held accountable.  I practice this every day. Though it is not appropriate for every situation, learning when to use this is a valuable lesson. This makes adverse experiences easier to conquer.
 
If you have gotten this far in reading, you are committed and invested in the future of P.S.~KARMA.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to make a difference in the lives of your children. Please check out our scholarship program if you haven’t already and consider changing the life of a child with me. After all, Kids Are Really Magical Artists!
