Bubbling right in the heart of the United States is the land of New Jersey. It’s not as big as Texas, nor as loud as New York, but don’t let its size fool you, for it’s as feisty as a chili pepper. This is a state that gives you the wind of the ocean, the calm of the countryside, and the hustle of city life, all rolled into one. Now, let's meet the Jersey Jumping Jellybeans! They're a group of fearless youngsters who've taken up boxing - not to battle monsters or aliens - but to challenge themselves and to stay fit. You see, in New Jersey, kids are not just about pizza and video games. They’re about fire in their belly and thunder in their fists. Leading the pack is Captain Jabbington, a ten-year-old with a magical boxing glove named “Glovy.” Glovy, with its sparkling laces, isn't just any boxing glove. It talks! It guides them through their boxing routine, tells the most hilarious knock-knock jokes, and even sings lullabies (quite horribly, but don't tell Glovy that). Knockout Nina is another member of the Jellybeans. She has a wicked right hook and a contagious giggle that makes even the grumpiest of grumps chuckle. She's known for her punchy comebacks and her hilarious puns - "Why don't boxers have time? Because they always wind up punching the clock!" Yes, New Jersey may be a tiny speck on the world map, but it's got big hearted kids who know how to throw a punch and how to take one. They are the Jersey Jumping Jellybeans - boxing, laughing, and becoming the best versions of themselves.

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.
