Vermont, a magical land affectionately known by its nickname - the Green Mountain State, is a wonderland for those who adore nature's beauty. Imagine it, kids; a place where mountains are taller than beanstalks and maple syrup flows like waterfall. Where fireflies at night are mistaken for stars that fell in love with the earth. Yes, it's that enchanting! And guess who lives here? Our superhero friend, Silly Billy the Squirrel. With fur brighter than a silver spoon and a tail fluffier than cotton candy, he is quite the local celebrity. Silly Billy is famous for his acrobatic skills and jumping from tree to tree, just like kids participating in the Rope Course activity. Ah, the Rope Course! It's not just any activity; it's an expedition of bravery, a test of endurance, and a jolly good fun! Kids, as young as tiny caterpillars and as energetic as buzzing bees, come from all over Vermont to challenge themselves. With hard hats buckled, harness strapped, and hearts pounding like a drum, they would swing, climb, and cross the rope bridges, giggling and shrieking in delight. Silly Billy, the squirrel, is their unofficial cheerleader. He would run along the courses, wagging his fluffy tail, and chattering words of encouragement. Sometimes, he would show off his acrobatics, performing a flip or a spin, leaving the kids bursting with laughter. So, kids, if you ever come to visit Vermont, don't forget to swing by the Rope Course, and say hi to our funny friend, Silly Billy. Just remember, he loves acorns more than he loves applause!

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.
