In the buzzing, fun-filled state of Massachusetts, also fondly known as MA, you'll find an army of young, energetic kids, known as the "Bike Brigade". They are led by their whimsical, highly adventurous commander, a magical creature named 'Captain PedalPower'. This oddball character, with his helmet made from a giant acorn, tight spandex shorts with banana peel designs, and shoes that squeak a tune every time he pedals, is a sight to behold, but he's an unbeatable champion when it comes to bicycling. Every day, at the first glow of dawn, Captain PedalPower gathers his Bike Brigade, made up of kids from all over MA, from the leafy streets of Boston to the sandy shores of Cape Cod. Captain PedalPower, with his twinkling eyes, shouts, "On your tiny two wheelers, team!" And off they go, whizzing across the winding trails, through colorful parks, over little hilly mounds, and around glittering ponds. The kids love these biking adventures. They feel the wind whipping through their hair, the rush of adrenaline in their tiny bodies, and the sense of thrill as they race along the beautiful paths of MA. They laugh, they cheer, they compete and they bond, all under the watchful, twinkling eyes of Captain PedalPower. "Bike Brigade, assemble!" is not just a call for a biking adventure, but it's a call for friendship, fun, and learning the art of balance, both on the bike and in life! So, if you ever find yourself in the good old MA, watch out for the Bike Brigade, led by the one and only, Captain PedalPower.

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.
