About DreamLoomAI

The Program I Wished Existed for My Son

My name is Mark, and I’m a dad first, entrepreneur second. My son Maverick attends Montessori ONE here in Albuquerque, and like any parent, I think about his future constantly.

I saw a world changing faster than schools could possibly keep up. Like many parents, I saw the writing on the wall. The world's most advanced technology was being used to turn my son into a passive consumer.

Every app, every social media feed, was designed to steal his attention and train him to scroll, not to create. And I knew that with AI, this problem was about to multiply exponentially. The gap between kids who simply consume what AI gives them and those who direct it as a creative tool would become the most important skill gap of the next generation.
 
But the bigger realization hit me at the same time. In a few years, AI will become a normal part of how people work, learn, and create. Most adults have no idea how quickly this is coming. Kids won’t need to understand algorithms or code, they’ll need to know how to direct AI with clear ideas and creativity. That single skill will decide who creates new things and who just waits for machines to do the thinking.

I kept hearing the same thing from experts: the kids who thrive will not be the ones who just use AI for answers, but the ones who know how to build things with it. Most people are already learning to use AI inefficiently, asking it basic questions like a search engine. That is a transactional relationship. I knew Maverick needed to learn how to direct it, not just ask it. He needed a place where he could have fun creating things, while naturally learning how to guide AI with his ideas, the early version of the skill he’ll rely on for the rest of his life.

DreamLoomAI is that place. I built it for Maverick, and now I'm opening it to other families. This is a lab dedicated to teaching kids how to be the director, the artist, and the architect of their own ideas in the age of AI. It's not about escaping technology; it's about taking command of it. We're not just creating characters; we're building the next generation of creators.

What We Actually Do

DreamLoomAI is an after-school AI creation lab designed specifically for kids ages 6–13. Whether your child stays after school by necessity or choice, those hours should build their future.

While other programs offer supervision or traditional activities like dance and chess, we give kids something different: a chance to direct AI to turn imagination into reality. 

In our 60-minute sessions, kids don’t just learn about AI. They create with it. They might:

• Draw a creature and watch it become a professional trading card.
• Write lyrics and hear them turned into an original song.
• Sketch a character and see it star in their own animated short.

Every project ends with something real they can take home or share. The kind of thing that makes other kids (and parents) say: “Wait, you made that?”

Why This Matters Right Now

Technology is moving quickly, and AI is already reshaping the world our kids will grow up in. Kids who learn early how to guide AI with their imagination will grow up far more confident and capable in a world where this becomes an everyday skill. Schools take time to adapt. Parents who want their children to be ready can’t afford to wait.

Why You Can Trust DreamLoomAI

DreamLoomAI was created by a dad who already knows how to build programs kids love and schools trust. My wife and I run a preschool dance program in more than 50 schools, and I’ve spent years building systems, businesses, and content using AI every single day.

This isn’t theory. It’s a program designed with the same care schools expect, powered by the same tools shaping the world our kids are growing up in.

How We’re Different

• Creation-First – We start with, “What do you want to make today?” and then show how AI can help bring it to life.
• Safety-Conscious – Every interaction is guided and age-appropriate. Kids never work directly inside unfiltered AI apps.
• Results-Focused – You don’t just get reports about what your child learned. You see the finished creations yourself.
• Community-Driven – We started with just  8 to 10 families in our Pioneer Program, and we still keep each group small, intentional, and parent-informed.

Our Community: Starting at Home

DreamLoomAI began with families from our community. This isn’t about rolling out a polished franchise. Our Pioneer Families helped shape the first version of this program. 

Your child gets a front-row seat to the magic of AI creation.

The Vision

DreamLoomAI began as a small after-school pilot with a handful of kids in Albuquerque. The bigger vision is clear: giving children everywhere the confidence and skills to work with technology instead of being shaped by it.

It started with Maverick, a few of his peers, and families like yours, building something that could define how kids grow up with AI.

Where We Started and What Comes Next

If you want your child to have the same edge I want for mine, DreamLoomAI was built for that.

This is not just another after-school class. It is a program designed to prepare kids for an AI powered future through play and creation.

In our first semester, 8 to 10 families joined us as Founding Families. Together we tested, shaped, and refined DreamLoomAI into what it is now.

Years from now, when programs like this are everywhere, you’ll be able to say: “We were there when it all began.”
