Once upon a time, tucked away in the southern charm of the United States lay a magical realm known as South Carolina, or SC as the cool kids called it. In SC, the sun smiles a little brighter, the grass grows a little greener, and the ocean waves seem to dance a little more joyfully. The kids who lived here were not just ordinary kids, oh no! These were superhero kids, zipping around in their capes of courage, harnessing the power of positivity and determination. Now, every superhero needs their training ground, right? Well, for the super-kids of SC, their special arena was the Physical Therapy Center, or PTC as they liked to call it. Here they would gather, working on their strength, flexibility, and speed - all crucial elements to amplify their superpowers. And overseeing this transformation was none other than the legendary Sir Laff-a-Lot, a jolly, fun-loving creature with an infectious laugh. He was short and round with rosy cheeks, a bushy mustache that bounced with laughter, and twinkling eyes full of mischief and merriment. He was the head coach at PTC, using his magical abilities to make exercises fun, creating an atmosphere of giggles and high-fives. Every day, these amazing kids would gather round Sir Laff-a-Lot, laughing and playing while they perfected their superhero skills. They would swing from magical ropes, fly through obstacle courses, and even do cartwheels through rings of fire, all while their cheerleader - Sir Laff-a-Lot - clapped, cheered, and mostly, rolled around laughing, encouraging them every step of the way. In the marvelous state of SC, these super-kids and Sir Laff-a-Lot proved that with a dash of laughter, a sprinkle of fun, and a whole lot of determination, anything is possible.

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.
