Far away in the sunny land of South Carolina, where palmetto trees sway in the warm breeze and the ocean dances to its own rhythm, there exists a group of extraordinary kids called the "Sensory Superheroes." They are not your average superheroes, oh no! They don’t wear capes, they don't have super strength or speed, but they have an incredible power - the power of sensory play! The Sensory Superheroes love to explore and enjoy the world around them using their five senses. They love to squish soft marshmallow playdough between their fingers, listening to the soft swish-swash as it molds into extraordinary shapes. They can spend hours watching colorful bubbles float in the air, their eyes following the path of each bubble, almost as if they were watching a rainbow dancing in the sun. Their leader, a funny fellow called Captain Giggles, who had a belly that wobbled like jelly, leads them on their sensory explorations. Captain Giggles has a nose like a sniffer dog, a touch as delicate as a butterfly's wing, eyes as sharp as an eagle's, ears that could hear the faintest whisper, and a tongue that could taste the invisible sugar in the air. Every day, they gather around Captain Giggles, who with a big guffaw announces, "Time for a new sensory adventure!" And off they would go, sliding down the rainbow slides, diving into pits of cotton candy, or listening to the symphony of the sea shells. These Sensory Superheroes from South Carolina love to learn, laugh, and explore, turning the ordinary into extraordinary with their sensory powers! And remember, their motto is, "Learning is fun when you use more than one... sense, that is!"

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.
