In the magical mitten-shaped state of Michigan, where the Great Lakes play hide and seek with the land, there live a bunch of adventurous boys and girls fondly known as the 'Michi-Munchkins'. Now, these aren't your ordinary munchkins. They're a quirky, curious bunch known far and wide for their epic Field Trips into the wild unknown, and Michigan is their playground! From the bustling Motor City of Detroit to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, these munchkins traverse the state with endless glee. Driven by the spirit of adventure, these kids explore every nook and cranny of their wonderful state, always ready to jump onto the 'Fun-n-Frolic' school bus. Now, let me introduce you to their leader, Captain QuickWit, a jolly, blue-eyed rabbit with a red bandana and a wiggly nose. He's the one responsible for making sure that the trips are funny, safe, and filled with laughter. How, you ask? Well, Captain QuickWit always has a joke up his furry sleeve! No matter how tricky the situation, he can always make the Michi-Munchkins laugh with his antics. From creating hilarious map-reading blunders to tripping over invisible pebbles, he sure knows how to keep the munchkins entertained. The Michi-Munchkins and Captain QuickWit, together, embark on their field trips, each one a new chapter in the grand adventure book of Michigan. They explore museum mysteries, trail the forest paths, and even sneak up on the sand dunes! Their laughter echoes throughout the state, and they return home with eyes sparkling with joy, and hearts filled with memories. For these kids, every day is a new adventure, every field trip, a journey into the magical world of knowledge and fun!

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.
