Professional and Fun Classes for Kids.

At PQA Brentwood, we’re passionate about creating a joyful learning environment where children can explore their creativity while building confidence and valuable life skills. Seeing our students thrive, whether by reaching personal milestones or simply having a great time, is what makes PQA such a special place.  

Our hand-picked team of professional teachers brings a wealth of industry experience, including acting, choreography, singing, and filmmaking. Each member of our team is dedicated to making every session engaging, supportive, and full of energy, ensuring your child feels inspired and encouraged to shine.  

At PQA Brentwood, your child will find a safe, nurturing space to grow their talents, try new things, and make lasting friendships. While we don’t currently offer PQA Poppets classes for ages 4 to 6, we’d love to welcome children aged 6-18 to join us and experience the magic of PQA.  

If you’re looking for a place where your child can have fun while learning and growing, we’d be delighted to welcome you to PQA Brentwood. Book a free session and see what we’re all about!
