Deep in the heart of the peach-scented state of Georgia, where the sun smiles more warmly than anywhere else, there's a special bunch of kids known as the Georgia Grits. Oh, they're not made of cornmeal, mind you. These kids are made of toughness, laughter, and an undying love for the mighty game of softball. The Georgia Grits are led by their imaginary mascot, a roly-poly armadillo named Dilly. With his tough outer shell and his quick rolling moves, he embodies the energy and never-give-up spirit of these softball-loving kids. Dilly, who has quite the funny bone, is always up to some mischief, often hiding in the outfield and popping up to surprise the players just when they least expect it. These kids, whether they are hitting a home run or tasting the dust after a daring slide to the home plate, always have a smile on their faces. Their laughter is as infectious as the sweet scent of Georgia peaches, it makes the sunflowers sway and the robins sing. From the crack of dawn, when the morning dew still clings to the green, green grass, they're out in the field, swinging their bats, and sending softballs whizzing through the warm Georgia air. After an exciting day on the fields, they gather around the biggest peach tree, sharing stories of their epic games, their faces flushed with the joy of the day. So, if you ever find yourself in the heart of Georgia, make sure you join the Georgia Grits and Dilly the armadillo for a day of softball. You'll leave with a heart full of laughter, a pocket full of peaches, and a tale or two about the magical game of softball under the Georgian sky.

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. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. 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. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
