Wisconsin is a realm of cheese, green pastures, and lakes that sparkle like diamonds under the sun. It's where you can hear cows' mooing symphonies, punctuated by the occasional, "Hey, watch out for that cheese wheel!" Yes, this is a land where cheese chases are a legitimate sport. But let's talk about the rock-climbing kids of Wisconsin. They are as brave as knights from fairy tales, always ready to face mountains and boulders that stand before them like grumpy, stone giants. Meet our hero, Sir Cheddar-Chip, the coolest rock-climbing kid in Wisconsin. He's as sharp as a Wisconsin cheddar, and as brave as a bag of spicy tortilla chips. Every day, after school, Sir Cheddar-Chip straps on his magical helmet, the Cheese Crown, and tugs on his Great Glove of Grip, the secrets of which have been passed down through generations of Wisconsinite cheese miners. Then, with a determined look in his eyes, he conquers rock faces taller than a hundred stacked cheese wheels. But something makes Sir Cheddar-Chip unique. You see, every time he reaches the top, instead of running back down like the other kids, he does a hilarious chicken dance, clucking and flapping his arms wildly. This always sends the other rock-climbing kids into fits of laughter. Here in Wisconsin, they believe the louder the laughter, the cheesier the cheese. So if you ever taste an incredibly cheesy chunk of Wisconsin cheddar, it's probably thanks to Sir Cheddar-Chip and his rock-climbing, chicken-dancing antics!

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.
