Deep within the heart of the whimsical state of Massachusetts, known to many as the land of delicious clam chowder and enchanting fall foliage, exists a secret league of extraordinary kids. These are no ordinary kids, though. They are the Ping-Pong Paddlers, masters of the swift and swanky sport of table tennis. Now, imagine Massachusetts as a giant Ping-Pong table, with Boston as the net in the middle. To the north, you have the cities like Salem, home to Ping-Ponging witches. They say the witch kids' serves are so tricky; it's as though they've cast a spell on the ball! On the south side, in cities like Plymouth, there are Ping-Pong Pilgrims, who've been perfecting their backspin since the Mayflower landed. But it's not all about winning in Massachusetts. No, siree! It's about fun, friendship, and of course, the thrill of the game. Every bounce of the ball echoes with laughter, and every swing of the paddle tells a tale of determination and joy. Leading this band of Ping-Pong enthusiasts is their cool imaginary friend, Wally the Whacking Walrus. With his flippers for paddles and a belly that jiggles like jelly, Wally is a sight to behold. He's so skilled that he can play two games at once - one with each flipper! Wally's encouraging cheer, "Remember, it's not about the points, it's about the Pong!", echoes throughout Massachusetts, inspiring kids to continue their Ping-Pong adventures. So, if you ever find yourself in Massachusetts, listen for the echoes of Wally's mantra and the telltale thwack of Ping-Pong balls. Maybe, just maybe, you might be lucky enough to join the Ping-Pong Paddlers for a game or two!

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.
