CLEVELAND - s4story -- Cleveland, OH.  – Young Rembrandts has etched its name as the leading childhood art enrichment program with the recent transfer of the local territory to a new franchisee, expanding its proprietary art education curriculum to more kids in Cleveland and the surrounding communities.

Now owned and operated by franchisees Shannon and Adam Sonnhalter, the Young Rembrandts territory currently serves schools in multiple locations including Cleveland, Avon, Avon Lake, Bay Village, Broadview Heights, Elyria, Medina, North Ridgeville, Oberlin, Parma, Strongsville, and more. The transfer builds on the momentum of the previous owner as the brand continues to fill the need for a form of brain-based learning in communities across the globe. With a unique curriculum, Young Rembrandts engages both the analytic and creative learner so everyone participating can learn to draw and be successful.

"Our own children participated in many Young Rembrandts drawing classes as a supplement to their after-school programming at St. Peter School in North Ridgeville. Their art drawings are still displayed all around our kitchen. Our 16-year-old daughter credits Young Rembrandts' classes with fostering her interest in art. She now paints for hours with her work displayed all over the walls in her bedroom.  She calls it her time for 'self-care'."

Young Rembrandts came to the Sonnhalters after Shannon spent the past 25 years working with children and leaders in the hospital systems at the Cleveland Clinic as well as several hospitals in New York City and New Jersey.  Adam comes from a business background that includes 8 years on Wall Street as an investment banker and the past 20 years as a partner with Maximum Value Partners.  For the past 6+ years he has also been a co-host of the weekly Dirty Secrets of Small Business podcast.

A unique art enrichment program that solely focuses on cognitive development through drawing, Young Rembrandts is based on the belief that when foundational art skills are taught to preschoolers and elementary students, there is a strong correlation between that involvement in the arts and future strong academic performance and personal achievement.
