In the exciting land of New Jersey, sandwiched between the buzzing realms of New York and Pennsylvania, there exists a fantastic tribe of children, known as the "Artful Sprouts." Yes, dear reader, these are not your typical kids. They are wizards of the visual arts, enchanting their world with colors brighter than a double rainbow after a summer rain. New Jersey, in our story, is a magical kingdom, filled with dragons that sniff out pizza, unicorns that blow bubble gum, and bridges that giggle when you cross them. And our brave Artful Sprouts take their paintbrushes and pencils as their magic wands, and bring these fantastical beings to life with their vivid imagination. Take Jimmy, for instance. He's no ordinary 10-year-old. No, sir! He can make you laugh by drawing a tomato blushing red because it saw the salad dressing. Or Sally, who paints sunsets that are so beautiful, they make the evening stars jealous. Then there's Benny, the Picasso of the lunchroom. Benny could take a napkin, a grape jelly sandwich and a dab of mustard, and create a masterpiece that would make a ketchup bottle weep with joy. Such are the kids of New Jersey, an enchanting mixture of humor, creativity, and a dash of mischief. With their art, they make their world even more magical, because they believe - as you should too, dear reader - that life is too short to be lived in black and white. So, welcome to the world of the Artful Sprouts of New Jersey, where every day is a new splash of color!

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.
