Connecticut, or as our imaginary friend, Timbertwig the Tumbleweed, calls it, "Connecti-cute", is a state teeming with rich history, natural beauty, and delightful charm. Located in the northeastern part of the country, it's famous for its vibrant autumn colors, delicious seafood, and, of course, the unbeatable charm of Timbertwig himself. Timbertwig, a quirky tumbleweed brought to life by a dash of magic sawdust, is as funny as a jester and as wise as a wizard. He is the state's self-proclaimed guardian and loves nothing more than frolicking around, making friends with the local kids. And the kids! Oh, they are just as spirited and fun-loving as Timbertwig. After school, they gather around their favorite tree, the mighty oak that Timbertwig calls home. This is where they take part in their beloved woodworking activity. It's a sight to behold as they sculpt, carve, and create, their little faces glowing with concentration and delight. The kids of Connecti-cute are the best bunch of little artisans you will find! They are adept at transforming pieces of wood into beautiful creations. From tiny birdhouses to grand castles, these kids can craft it all, while Timbertwig, with his wooden heart full of joy, watches them, supplying a continuous stream of jokes that keep everyone laughing. So, if you ever chance upon Connecticut, look out for the laughter echoing from under the grand old oak. You might just find Timbertwig, along with his little artisan friends, creating their beautiful, wooden world, one chuckle at a time!

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.
