At HapusKids we empower adults to reconnect with their creativity and expression, enabling them to better support the comprehensive development of children and young people in a positive, creative, and enriching environment.
What do we do?
We teach adults to reconnect with their creativity and expression so that they can better support children and young people in their development.
Why do we give this training?
Because the pace of life today disconnects us. We want to return the focus to creativity, pause and human connection.
Who are our students?
People who support the growth of children and adolescents: family members, educators, mental and physical health professionals, and those who want tools to grow personally and professionally.
What do we notice?
Too much technology and lack of time affect children and adults. At HapusKids we offer a space to reconnect.
Childhood is a time of innocence.
It is the morning time of life when all is change and wonder.
It begins with being born and ends with growing up.
It is joy and laughter... and make believe.
Childhood is a magic place of dreams… where everything is possible
and the best is just beginning.
It is a timeless place...Where minutes are not numbered…
Childhood is for exploring…
it is for running and reaching
and touching and seeing
and tasting and hearing,
and learning.
It is the happy hour, the passing dream,
the tender time of innocence that is part of us forever

As a mother and educator, the classes not only provide me with valuable tools to work with children but also invite me to reflect and connect with creativity.The balance between creativity, play, fun, art, theory, and neuroscience is very well achieved.I highly recommend it to everyone who works with children or is responsible for them!”
Mariana Alvarado
Specialist Educational Psychopedagogue
“HapusKids was a creative awakening and an invaluable guide on my path as a psychologist and educator. Each tool I learned transformed my work, deeply impacting the children, who rediscovered their connection with nature and their imagination. More than just training, HapusKids inspires us to open up to our own creativity and dream big. I recommend this experience from the bottom of my heart.”
Azul Conti
Psychologist and student of the training
“I work in the physical theatre company Fuerza Bruta and my artistic path began at the age of 7 in Carola’s Creative Dance classes. These classes were my time during the week, a playful, safe and happy space where I could unfold my inner world and dance my emotions. The classes invited me to immerse myself in a fantasy world, which then allowed me to be freer in the real world. In them I fell in love with dance and found a way to let my sensitivity flow in a beautiful and healthy way.”
Julia Astigueta
Dancer and actress
“I was lucky enough to participate in HapusKids workshops and was amazed by their innovative and dynamic approach. I believe that in order to transmit this material to children, it is essential to experience it on one’s own body and repeat the exercises. It is a valuable learning and growth opportunity for children of all ages. I recommend it!”
Andrea Chami
Volunteer in Foundations
“Language is the substratum of culture, and this training addresses its multiple forms in an integrated manner: dance, music, theatre, expression and body awareness. This experience enriches those who participate, allowing them to unleash their creativity in all areas of their lives and spread it to those around them.”
Sergio Ciaburri
Physical Education Teacher
“I work with children in musical theatre and dance. Finding this space confirmed the importance of supporting children with creative activities where imagination, creativity, and relationships with the environment and others can flourish, which is very important in the stage of growth. Thank you HapusKid for providing this space. It was a beautiful experience!”
Adriana Conde
Director and Dance Teacher
“As a child, I took classical dance classes, but I found them rigid and repetitive. In creative dance, I found a playful and spontaneous space, where enjoyment was above technique. Each class was unique, with multiple triggers that invited me to freely explore movement.”
