Laura Clark, owner, has a masters degree in counseling and almost 30 years teaching experience. She taught first grade
(primarily) in Yuba, Silo, and in Durant (Northwest Heights). After her retirement, she has volunteered at Northwest Heights to help with art and poetry.
Several people have asked what “The Umbrella” is. Although it is many things, its primary focus is a children’s learning enrichment center. However, it is also a party place.
Many parents are looking for a unique birthday party experience for their child, and they can find this in Downtown Durant.
Parties are not limited to youngsters. Laura has costumes for all ages, and one of the most popular things she offers is dress-up karaoke. She offers a
videotape of what goes on during the party on stage. Showers and other gatherings are welcome to use her facilities also.
She has a record player that you can actually play old records on. A real set of drums, a keyboard, tables, snack bar, lounge area, cards, and games are some of the other
features of this unique establishment. Everything at The Umbrella is relaxing. Call to find out more about scheduling your party or event.
Laura is accepting enrollment for learning enrichment. Although there is no set structure, most children come once a week for a one-hour time period. She
combines the child’s interests with what the parents want to make for a fun learning environment with lots of hand-on activities. She caters to kids four years old and up.
The fall semester runs September 2 through December. This Christian-based business provides traditional education in a non-traditional setting. The
Umbrella is located at 310 W. Main and you can reach Laura at 916-2533.
