Once upon a time, in the land of Massachusetts - fondly known as MA, where the fall leaves mimic the colors of a sunset and the winters sparkle like a snow globe, a band of kids, known as the "Soccer Squad", ruled the fields. These kids were not your average troopers; they were energetic and enthusiastic, their giggles echoing louder than the referee's whistle. In Massachusetts, the Soccer Squad was as famous as the legendary Bigfoot, and twice as elusive to beat! Leading this crew of misfits was a character as cool as a cucumber and twice as unique. His name was Skippy the Squirrel! Skippy wasn't much for acorns but oh boy, he adored soccer! Despite having a fluffy tail instead of athletic shorts and tiny paws instead of cleats, Skippy was the champion of all things soccer. His fur was the color of muddy soccer balls, and his eyes were as round and shiny as freshly polished trophies. Each day, the Soccer Squad would gather at the field, their laughter mixing with the rustling leaves, and the paintings of their breath in the cold air. Skippy, with his big bushy tail, would lead their practice, hustling and bustling, running drills with the kids, and teaching them the true values of teamwork, perseverance, and fair play. Skippy's motto was: “It's not about the goals you make but the fun you have!” And oh, the fun they had! The Soccer Squad of MA, under the watchful eyes of Skippy, played with a joy that was infectious, their excitement seeping into the corners of the state like syrup into a stack of pancakes. This is the tale of the state of MA and its love for kid’s soccer, a tale of laughter, of unity, and most importantly, of fun!

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.
