In the wide world of Wacky Waters, there was a land known as the State of NY, famously known as Nifty Yo-Yo. This was no ordinary place! It was a magical land of towering forests, mighty rivers, and shimmering lakes. It was a place where the trees danced to the tunes of the wind, the birds sang the loveliest songs, and every splash in the water echoed with laughter. In this peculiar land of Nifty Yo-Yo, there lived a tribe of kids known as the "Water Wackos." They were known for their wild and fun water activities. They weren't afraid to dive deep into the Lake of Laughter or paddle hard in the River of Ripples or even slide fast down the biggest water slide in the Wet 'n' Wild Waterpark. Their leader was a hilarious hermit crab named Chuckles, who wore a rainbow-colored shell and a pair of bright yellow boots. Chuckles was quite the joker. He'd often gather the Water Wackos around a giant lily pad and tell them tales that were so funny that the fish would pop out from the water, laughing their fins off. He taught the Water Wackos how to have lots of fun in water, like how to make a splash large enough to create a rainbow or how to surf on the back of a speedy salmon. In the magical land of Nifty Yo-Yo, laughter bubbled up like a natural spring, and giggles floated around like fluffy clouds. The Water Wackos and Chuckles, with their wild water adventures, sprinkled the land with joy and laughter, making Nifty Yo-Yo the happiest, most fun-filled place in all of Wacky Waters.

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.

We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are.
