Enrichment That Extends Beyond the School Day.
From after-school care to school-break camps, Spark gives kids the space to create, explore, and discover what they love in a safe and structured environment.
Make Room for
More Spark.
The time after school should be more than time to fill.
Spark turns that time into an opportunity for kids to connect, create, explore new interests, and feel supported in a safe, engaging environment.

3 Ways to Spark Something New
Spark’s enrichment is built around three core tracks: Arts & Creativity, Science & Engineering, and Sports & Movement. Each one brings a variety of hands-on activities and experiences designed to keep kids curious, engaged, and having fun.
Arts &
Creativity
From jewelry making and sticker design to theater, costumes, and cardboard box adventures, kids get to dream up ideas and bring them to life. With plenty of room to experiment, create, and express themselves, every project is a chance to build confidence and discover something new.
Science &
Engineering
Get ready for sticky, stinky science, duct tape engineering, toy design, and more! Through hands-on experiments and creative challenges, kids test ideas, solve problems, and explore how things work, all while discovering that learning can be messy, surprising, and a whole lot of fun.
Sports &
Movement
From international sports to Spark Olympics, playground games, and more, there are so many ways to get moving! Kids try new activities, build coordination, and practice teamwork while discovering new skills and enjoying the fun of playing together.

Don’t Just Take Our
Word for It.
We’re proud to create experiences that kids enjoy, families appreciate, and communities can count on.
“My daughter attends their after school program in Denver and loves it. It’s hard to get her to leave when I pick her up! She gets to create her own Jeopardy games, build projects, create origami, and have fun choosing what she feels like doing within their daily programming.”
"Your company actually takes LIFE into consideration! THANK YOU for being humans and taking little things into consideration."
“My daughter loves it so much and it's just been such an amazing program for our family. I hope we can keep it going for years.”
"Your team did a fantastic job of making the camp both educational and enjoyable. We appreciate the effort and dedication that went into making it such a success. Already looking forward to participating again next year!"
“This experience will stay with us for a long time. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging them to grow with confidence and heart.”
Safety & Student Well-Being
A Thoughtful Approach to Every Child’s Safety
Every child deserves an environment where they feel secure, supported, and ready to explore. Spark prioritizes student well-being through staff screening, comprehensive training, and clear safety procedures. From child safeguarding and inclusive classroom practices to emergency preparedness and incident reporting, our team is equipped to help create a positive, well-managed experience for every student.
We partner with a wide range of schools and communities. If you’re interested in bringing more enrichment to your students, let’s start the conversation and see if Spark is the right fit for your school.
Start with a conversation! Book a meeting with our team and we’ll learn more about your school, answer your questions, and talk through what a Spark partnership could look like. Whether you’re ready to get started or simply curious, we’d love to hear from you.
Yes! Spark manages hiring, background checks, training, and ongoing support for our instructors and program directors. If members of your school community are interested in joining the program team, we’re happy to consider them as well, but your school never has to worry about finding the staff.
Yes. Your school provides the space, and Spark brings the rest. Our in-house curriculum team develops the programming, and we provide the materials needed to bring each activity to life.
Yes! Our marketing and design team creates a robust set of materials for your school to share with families. We make it easy to communicate the program, while your school helps distribute those materials directly to your community.
A typical afternoon gives kids time to settle in, recharge, and get ready for their main activities. After arrival and a warm-up activity, students have time for homework, independent study or reading, followed by a snack and restroom break. Then it’s time for hands-on module activities led by their instructor. Attend two days a week or five. No one falls behind. Our programming is designed so every day can stand on its own.
Spark currently offers four core enrichment areas: Preschool, Arts & Creativity, Science & Engineering, and Sports & Movement. Each includes a variety of hands-on activities and projects, and we’re always developing new programming and expanding our offerings.
Our in-house curriculum team designs activities with different ages and experience levels in mind. Modules can be adapted to keep activities accessible, engaging, and appropriately challenging for each age group.
Spark serves children ages 2.5–14, with programming tailored to different age groups. Students are grouped by age and developmental needs, so a 14-year-old and a 5-year-old would not participate in the same group.
Spark handles registration from start to finish. Families register through our website, while Spark manages the enrollment process so your school doesn’t have to.
Absolutely! Schools can partner with Spark for after-school enrichment, summer camps, or both. We can work with your school to determine which programs make the most sense for your community.
