Hello Success Academy Families,

I’m so excited to share that **registration is now open for our Spark Nature Winter Semester**, and we can’t wait to build on the beautiful momentum we created together this Fall.

This past semester with Miss Kaya was truly special—watching the children settle into nature, creativity, and mindful movement week after week was a joy. Their confidence grew, their curiosity deepened, and they embraced the rhythm of being outdoors and off screens in a way that felt grounding and joyful.

This winter, Spark Nature continues with our signature formula:
winter nature exploration, hands-on art, meditation, and movement—intentionally designed to give kids time outside, space to breathe, and meaningful creative expression during the colder months. Even in winter, nature offers so much to notice, explore, and create from, and we lean into that magic fully.

Program details:

Pick-up directly from Success Academy
Two pick-up options: 4pm or extended care until 6:pm
All materials and supplies included
Daily dismissal from our **beautiful Spark studio on 72nd Street**

If you’re looking for a nurturing, screen-free after-school experience that supports creativity, emotional regulation, and movement—this is it.

Spots are limited, and we expect this winter session to fill quickly. We would love to welcome both returning families and new ones into our Spark Nature community.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us—we’re so looking forward to another wonderful season together.

Last night was one of those moments that makes me pause and really take it all in.

We gathered our incredible Spark teaching team for a year-end holiday dinner — lots of laughter, insanely delicious food, shared plates, and stories from a year full of creativity, care, and connection.

I feel so deeply grateful for this group of humans. Each of you shows up week after week for children — across our afterschool programs, studios, privates , all our schools, forest schools , and all the many spaces Spark lives — with presence, patience, talent, and heart.

You meet kids exactly where they are and help lift them up through art, movement, mindfulness, and genuine relationship.

Spark only works because of the way this team shows up.
For the joy you bring into rooms, for the calm you offer in big feelings, for the creativity you spark in every child — thank you.

I’m beyond thankful to be building this work alongside you all.

✨🎨 We are LIVE! 🎨✨

Introducing the Spark Sticker Shop — our newest way to celebrate children’s creativity AND support our non profit SPARK Arts Inc.

We’ve taken real artwork from Spark kids and turned it into beautiful stickers you can purchase to fund more art, yoga, meditation, and nature classes across NYC & PA.

And now, for the first time ever…

💛 You can submit your own child’s artwork to be considered for future stickers!

This project is joyful, meaningful, and accessible — a perfect way to support the arts this Giving Tuesday without needing to be a major donor. Truly, kids’ art supports kids’ art.
Take a look at the shop, explore our first sticker collection, and help us spread the word:

Camp started in our UWS backyard back in 2015 and here we are ten years later going strong! But now we don’t need to convert our home into a classroom, we have a gorgeous studio instead. Come see for yourself what makes our art studio such a gem!

Conveniently located on west 72nd street right off the 1-2-3 and B-C trains. Sun kissed, newly renovated, pristinely organized and the perfect canvas for endless creativity. We love being super close to Riverside and Central Park AND walking distance to the Museum of Natural History. Can’t beat it! 💚🙏🏽
