The Turtle Feet Story

As a child, I had a strong interest in anything related to art. Drawing, painting, sewing, even dance, interested me. Creating something from nothing was a way for me to express myself and I sought out any and every opportunity to do just that. I grew up just south of Boston, MA where affordable art programs, as they are today, were difficult to find. I was fortunate enough that my mother had discovered, and enrolled me in, an art program offered through a local museum.

As my first project I transformed a rock into a turtle with popsicle-stick feet. I took pride in my creation and gave it to my mother as a thank you. She kept it for over 20 years and it has now reappeared as the inspiration for Turtle Feet.

Sincerely,
Katie Cowan Porro
Founder and Director
Turtle Feet

The idea for Turtle Feet came about during my time in the supplemental education industry. While running an academic learning center I was afforded the opportunity to speak with thousands of parents. Those many conversations helped me to understand the desires and goals they have for their children and the challenges they faced in terms of finding means to achieve them. Of the most pressing issues were the absence of art programs in school, the desire to learn academic basics early on, and the illustration of fun while learning.
Turtle Feet sits at this crossroad.

Turtle Feet’s mission is to provide an innovative, creative, nurturing environment that promotes individuality and self-expression for all children, parents, and employees. It is a place where its members explore and
succeed while learning the essential art of self-confidence. Turtle Feet has
the indispensable mission of achieving this purpose and I challenge you to join us in making a difference for our children…one imagination at a time.
