child enrichment programs in Valencia, CA

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.

Nikki Miller, a SCV resident, is the founder and director of the Academy Swim Club, dedicated to helping save lives in our beautiful valley. It all started after one life-changing incident in 1994. After their babysitter had left, Nikki and her husband Jim came home to find wet clothes and vomit on the deck. They soon realized their one year old, Dakota, had crawled into the spa while the babysitter was inside on the phone. Their barely four year old swimmer Garrett, unable to reach him or stand on the bottom of the spa, jumped in and pulled his brother from the spa, saving his life. This tragic event caused Jim and Nikki to dedicate their lives to water safety education. They wanted to do whatever they could to help prevent these events from happening again. Through their passion, they established the Academy Swim Club to provide life-saving education and support to the community. Thanks to Nikki and Jim’s hard work and dedication, the Academy Swim Club continues to help save lives today.

Art education improves a child’s confidence. Studies have shown that when children participate in art activities, the feedback between student & teacher builds self-respect by helping them learn to accept criticism and praise. When students put their “all” into an art project, spending hours working on it and cultivating it, they will feel an enormous sense of accomplishment when it is complete. Self-motivation and personal pride grows with accomplishment.
