In the bustling, bubbling, brilliant state of New York, where skyscrapers touch the clouds and the people are as diverse as the rainbow, thrives a group of kids we fondly call the 'Photog Whiz Kids'. This crew is not your average bunch. They are pint-sized Picassos with a camera, snapping the world into a thousand beautiful frames. Leading them is charismatic 'Captain Click', a mysteriously cool character with a magical camera. He sports wild, candy floss hair, twinkling, kaleidoscope eyes, and a dazzling smile. He wears a star-spangled superhero cape swirling around him, with a camera-shaped pendant twinkling around his neck. Armed with his 'super-charged' camera, he can magically conjure any photographic equipment the kids need. Need a tripod? Snap! Studio light? Snap! The Photog Whiz Kids are always ready for action, armed with cameras of all types – DSLRs, point-and-shoots, even old-school Polaroids. They roam the concrete jungle of New York, capturing the city's pulsating heartbeat – be it bustling Times Square, serene Central Park, or the towering Statue of Liberty. These kids know that every corner of New York offers a unique photo opportunity. These kids are the laughter-filled, fun-loving masters of the camera, capturing everything from the giggle of a baby in Brooklyn to the grandeur of a sunset over the Hudson River. Together with Captain Click, they're exploring New York in ways most people never see, one click at a time. But remember, they're not just taking photos. They're making memories, and boy, are they having a blast doing it!

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.
