The Primary Kids

Jacqueline Cassidy is an artist, business woman and Art Educator. Jacqueline is the founder, creator and spirit behind The Primary Kids®. Jacqueline, an Elementary & Middle School Art teacher, founded The Primary Kids® in 2009. While looking for children’s art storybooks that she could integrate into her classroom lessons, Jacqueline found an absence of well-written stories with interesting characters that were not only engaging but also educational. She took her love of art and passion for education to create a product that will inspire young creative minds. Jacqueline passion for art education for children also translates to the teachers that inspire the youngest artists. Her dedication has lead her to create lessons that teachers, home school teachers and creative parents can use with their children.
