South Carolina, affectionately known as SC, is quite a quirky place, filled with giggling gators, chatty seagulls, and hidden pirate treasures. It's where you can taste the salt in the morning air, feel the sand between your toes, and see the Spanish moss swaying in the breeze. Now, in this splendid state, there's a group of kids whose imaginations are as wild as a horde of hyperactive hummingbirds. They're the Art & Crafts kids. With their rainbow-smudged fingers and glitter in their hair, they believe every day is an art adventure waiting to be painted! Meet Trudy, a ladybug with a sassy red hat who helps the kids get creative. Trudy, fondly called "Doodles" by the kids, is as spunky as a firecracker and as imaginative as an artist's palette. She has been known to paint stripes on the raccoons and polka dots on the possums, just for fun! Every day, with Doodles guiding them, these kids transform ordinary paper plates into whimsical sunflowers, and turn lumpy clay into grinning gators. They create masterpieces from bottle caps and old buttons, transforming what others might call trash into treasure! One day, you might find them sculpting a sandcastle that stretches to the clouds. The next, they could be knitting cozy sweaters for the oak trees or choreographing a dance for the squirrels. They're always laughing, always creating, and always making SC even more magical. But remember, don't be surprised if you see a squirrel wearing a tutu or a tree sporting a large woolly sweater, that's just a sign that the Art & Crafts kids and Doodles have been there!

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.
