My name is Sandra Donnelly. I am the proud owner of The Sippy Cup Place, Inc. Many people wonder "What is The Sippy Cup Place?" Do we sell sippy cups? Is it a daycare? Do you have room for my baby in your daycare? and How did you came up with the name The Sippy Cup Place?"

Well, the story began with my father Teo. He was a hardworking man who dreamed of owning his own business. He was a dedicated father who loved children and had a passion for music. Sadly he died before achieving his dream. Years past and on 2007 while stuck in traffic during a winter storm, I had an epiphany. It almost felt as if my late father's presence was around me. I felt an overwhelming feeling of love and embrace coupled with a vision. In an instant I knew what I was supposed to do for the rest of my life. The name of The Sippy Cup Place along with all details of the business flashed before my eyes. It was such an amazing experience, I just simply could not let go. My heart was flooded with emotions and excitement. The next day I rented a small space and just like that The Sippy Cup Place was born.

After much support of my husband and the community the business took a life of it's own. Today The Sippy Cup Place is an art school with friendly staff and a positive environment. We provide children over the age of 5 with amazing art experiences. We offer art courses such as painting, drawing, jewelry making, pottery, paper mache and more! Our school provides art programs for children following school hours and we are open during school closing vacations.  We also specialize in all inclusive birthday parties, gift arrangements, face painting and more!  

Our private art enrichment program is nothing but the best! We provide all inclusive art courses from 2-6 PM during the school year.  We pick up your child from school with our 7D school buses at no additional charge!!!  During winter/spring/summer breaks our programs "shifts gears" to bring you an 8-5 program with discounts for our regular club members.  Children who belong to the club explore all aspects of arts and crafts. We strongly believe art is not a luxury but a spiritual necessity. This is the belief and basis of our foundation.  I personally have witnessed numerous positive changes in children through art.  It is amazing to see their sense of pride when completing a craft or a special painting.  Their hard work is always followed by positive reinforcement.

We provide the best birthday parties in town. Our parties are amazing!. You may rent the entire art school or have a semi private party. All details are taking care for you so all you have to do is come to the party and enjoy yourself!  We take pride in making everything absolutely fabulous in order to make you and your child feel special.  

Our gift arrangements are awesome.  They are all custom made to meet your needs.  We guarantee you are going to love them.  We also have a gift shop. We sell paintings, gifts , cards, and we create portraits of your child. And yes, we sell sippy cups too!

 There is not a day that goes by I am not thankful for living my father's dream and sharing it with the children in our community. At times when things get a bit challenging all I have to do is remember my father's embrace and I know I am exactly where I need to be.

The Sippy Cup Place...In the loving memory of my father Teofilo Burgos.
