Once upon a time, in the sun-drenched, harmonious state of South Carolina, a band of irrepressible kids formed the most eclectic football team. With palm trees swaying lazily under the azure sky and quaint little towns dotted with Spanish moss-laced oak trees, South Carolina was an enchanted place that combined the charm of the old with the vibrancy of the new. Leading the pack was our protagonist, a funny little guy named Chuckles, who had a head as round as a football and a heart as large as the Atlantic Ocean that brushed against the sandy beaches of the Palmetto State. Chuckles had a peculiar laugh, much akin to the honking of the Canadian geese that often migrated to South Carolina, which would send the team into fits of laughter every time! Each day, the kids would gather at the town's park, where the scent of fresh cut grass and blooming magnolias filled the air. There, amidst the sultry summer heat, they would play football, their laughter ringing across the fields, louder than the buzzing cicadas. With no professional coaching, they followed the rules of the 'Chuckles Football League,' where the main objective was not to score goals, but to have loads of fun! Whether it was the hefty Bigfoot Billy who could hardly run a yard without tripping over his own feet, or Speedy Susie who could sprint quicker than a roadrunner but couldn't catch a ball to save her life, the team was a riotous ensemble of misfits. But their passion for the game and their boundless energy transformed every football match into an epic carnival of joy and laughter. They were, indeed, the zany young heartbeat of South Carolina.

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.

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.
