Why Fox & Kids
Fox & Kids Studio was created to give children a place where learning feels safe, joyful, and supportive — not rushed or performance-driven.
We believe kids grow best when they’re given time to explore, experiment, imagine, and express themselves in ways that feel right for them. Everything we offer is guided by that belief.

Our Foundation’s Legacy
Fox & Kids Studio is a children’s enrichment program rooted in a long-standing philosophy of connection, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences.
Fox & Kids Studio operates as a program of Six Points Enrichment, a new Boise, Idaho-based business built on a legacy foundation. The name and philosophy come from Six Points, a nonprofit founded in Colorado in 1977 by Indi’s parents.
For more than 45 years, Six Points supported individuals with disabilities through community connection, skill-building, and lifelong learning. That same spirit now continues through Six Points Enrichment — reimagined for children and families in the Boise area.
Today, Fox & Kids Studio brings this philosophy to life through creative, thoughtful enrichment experiences where kids feel supported, capable, and connected.
