"If you are active as a child, the chances are you will be more likely to be active as an adult. The SPARK's program is a revoluntionary fitness program that helped put one US school district of 19,000 kids first in the world in the area of science. Exercise sparks new brain-cell growth. The evidence is incontrovertible: exercise physically transforms our brains for peak performance. The brain works just as muscles do-growing with use, withering with inactivity, and shows why getting your heart and lungs pumping can mean the difference between a calm, focused mind and a harried, inattentive self."

"Inspiring Healthy Kids"
We offer movement, music, and enrichment programs for preschool and elementary school aged children to increase their appetite for physical fitness and music. The concept of fitness has consistently deteriorated over time.
There are concerns about the childhood obesity "epidemic" and a slowly developing awareness of health issues arising from poor diet and lack of exercise. Public and private institutions are faced with budget and resource constraints limiting their ability to provide effective fitness programs and they are beginning to search for innovative solutions.
Our solution is simple - start them young with exercise, fitness, and music. We focus on creative movement and music to enhance the children’s whole development.
Research acknowledges that the preschool years are when the brain and body development are linked. This is precisely why our program excites and inspires the kids to get moving. Gross motor development is enhanced through music and dance, and the benefits are endless. Exercising the brain and body maximizes the children’s ability to focus and to become more receptive to learning.
Our Program Summary:
• An interactive, creative movement and music class
(30, 45 or 1-hour enrichment classes)
• Tailored lesson plans for each specific age level
• Enhancement of cognitive development, gross motor,
and fine motor skills through innovative movement
and music lesson plans
• High energy, fun program to foster social skills and
build self confidence
• Exercising of their mind and body to maximize the
children’s ability to focus and become more receptive
to learning
• Introduction of musical instruments and other
manipulatives
• Alignment with the SPARK program philosophy, a
national physical educational program
• Partnering with the school staff to ensure the best
quality program
We tailor our lesson plans for each class to provide an innovative movement class with fun music that children engage in fully.
