In the northernmost corner of the United States, tucked away like a secret treasure, is the versatile and vibrant state of Maine, also known as ME. It's a place where the sun greets the Atlantic Ocean every morning, where forests whisper tales of adventure, and where the shadows of mighty mountains hold ancient secrets. In this magical backdrop, there is a bunch of kids who love to write, and they are as unique as Maine itself. Every week, in the heart of a tiny little town, these kids gather around a magical talking moose named "Mighty Moe". Moe, with his goofy smile and antlers like a library shelf, guides them through the enchanting world of writing. From penning hilarious haikus about lobsters wearing mittens to crafting epic tales about flying blueberry pies, these kids are the scribbling wizards of ME. From the bubbly Sally, who adds a dash of her infectious laughter into every story she writes, to the quiet Sam, whose words flow like a silent, mesmerizing river, each of them brings their own flavor to make their writing bright and colorful. And then, there's their leader, a little fiery girl named Maxine, who, even though she's short, has a gigantic imagination. Maxine can turn even the most boring topics into an exciting roller coaster of craziness. Laughing, dreaming, and weaving fantastic tales together, these kids from Maine are not just writers, they are the world builders, the dream weavers, the story tellers, and they are the heart of ME. So, if you ever find yourself in Maine, don't forget to look for Mighty Moe and his little gang of wordsmiths. They might just inspire you to write your own magical story!

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.
