In the sun-kissed state of California, where palm trees sway to the beat of ocean waves and the mountains stand tall and mighty, there exists a special group of kids who are anything but ordinary. These are the 'Horseback Heroes', a troop of adventure-loving, horse-riding kids whose tales of fun and bravery would make even the mightiest cowboy tip his hat! Leading this pack of cowkids is a hilarious character who goes by the name of 'Cowboy Cal'. Cal, with his freckled face, sun-bleached hair, and twinkling blue eyes, is as Californian as the golden sunshine itself. But don’t let his fluffy hair and shiny braces fool you - when he dons his cowboy hat and mounts his trusty steed, ‘Sir Neigh-a-lot’, he's as dashing and gallant as any hero from an old western movie. Cowboy Cal and the rest of the Horseback Heroes spend their days galloping along the golden beaches, racing through the lush vineyards, and exploring the mighty Yosemite valleys. Every day is a wild, winding adventure. And just when you think they might be too tired to continue, they break out into laughter, make funny faces (that only a mother could love), and start a new journey anew. With their unwavering spirit, contagious laughter, and their loyal horses, these kids paint a picture of California that's as vibrant as a Hollywood movie and as warm as freshly baked apple pie. So saddle up, and giddy up, kids! The Horseback Heroes of California are here to whisk you away on an unforgettable ride!

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.
