In the heart of the bustling midwestern realm known as Ohio, where skyscrapers sway side by side with ancient trees and fields of golden corn, a band of fearless and adventurous kids embarks on thrilling nature excursions that would make even a squirrel's fur stand on end! Led by their zany and fabulously mustachioed guide, Professor Wobblebottom, a man so wildly enthusiastic about nature that birds have been known to migrate just to avoid his loud outdoor lectures, these kids seek out the fluffy, the scaly, the leafy, and the muddy wonders of Ohio's great outdoors! Every weekend, when the sun yawns and stretches its golden arms over Ohio's famous Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the glistening waters of Lake Erie, or the charming Amish Country, Professor Wobblebottom and his troop of nature-loving kiddos hustle and bustle into their big green bus, chugging towards another exciting outdoor escapade. With binoculars, bug boxes, and sandwiches jam-packed with peanut butter and jelly, they toddle off into the wild, wide yonder! From the teeming forests of Hocking Hills State Park, where they've startled more than one sleeping bear, to the sandy shores of Headlands Beach, where they've built the tallest sandcastles in documented history, these kids are as unstoppable as a herd of runaway bison. And let's not forget the time they climbed the lofty peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, and caused such a ruckus that even the stones tried to roll away! In the grand state of Ohio, where the trees grow tall and the rivers eagerly babble their secrets to anyone who would listen, Professor Wobblebottom and his young explorers laugh in the face of indoor boredom. Armed with curiosity, courage, and a knack for finding the muddiest puddles, these kids are the champions of Ohio's untamed wilderness!

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.
