Once upon a cotton candy cloud, in the dazzling state of Alabama, a peculiar character named Tummy Tickler Tom lived. Alabama, known as the Heart of Dixie, is a place where the sun winks at the rivers, the mountains play hide and seek with the clouds, and the cotton fields sway like ballerinas in the warm southern breeze. It's home to the most curious critters and the most delicious, mouth-watering food you can imagine. And Tummy Tickler Tom, with his apron stitched from laughter and his chef's hat made from moonbeams, is the finest, funniest chef in all of Alabama. Now, the kids of Alabama, with dreams as big as the southern sky, love to gather in Tummy Tickler Tom's magical kitchen. They're an adventurous bunch, from the hilltops of Huntsville to the bayous of Mobile. The moment they step into Tom's kitchen, their eyes sparkle brighter than the stars, and their laughter rings out like jingle bells. Each with a wooden spoon in hand like a wand, they whip up storms in their mixing bowls. From baking fluffy unicorn muffins that giggle when you touch them, to grilling rainbow burgers that bounce when you drop them, they're the zaniest junior chefs you'll ever meet. They even made chocolate pizzas that could sing lullabies and dancing candy canes once! Cooking isn't just an activity for these little Alabamian wizards, but a wild, whimsical adventure. An escapade of flavors, fun, and a hearty sprinkle of fairy dust. And at the heart of it all, with a belly full of laughter, is our dear Tummy Tickler Tom.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment.

We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are.
