TRIAL CLASS
P.S. 84 • Lillian Weber • Winter/Spring 2024
Dates: Feb 5th to June 26th
The session is 21 weeks long, our biggest after school semester ever!
For spring, we will have two Teaching Artists per day and it will be offered it 4 days a week based on need. We create age appropriate lessons for your children that blend creativity with mindfulness. Spark runs on the smaller side (10-12 kids or less). This has allowed us to create special relationships between our team and the children. Due to length and its operating costs, families will have the options to pay in full or break it up in two installments.
Please note, a minimum of 4 children is needed to run each day. You will be notified before hand if your selected day minimums has not been met.
Additionally, Spark programs are tax deductible and we can furnish necessary receipts upon requests

Frequently Asked Questions
If we are ever unable to hold class (sick teacher or an unexplained event) we are happy to offer a make up class.
If you have missed the class due to your own reasons, you will be given an option for a make up class. No refund is given.
Spark has always maintained smaller classes for greater interaction, learning and this has led to our camp being like no other. In light of the pandemic, this 10 person cap is followed to ensure safety for a manageable group.
Spark has prided itself on innovative lessons based on self-study and growth. This program is a combination of art with a blend of mindfulness to foster confidence, community and growth.
YES, we will connect breath work and meditation to establish a flow state before tapping into into our creativity.
It is our intention to get back to making art while being outside with respect to social distancing guidelines. This also means getting them moving, being around other kids, breathing the fresh air and giving them a chance to be kids, see their friends and have fun.
- Rules and restrictions explained to the children on first day of class.
- No shared supplies or snacks.
- Hand-washing and sanitization whenever possible upon going inside.
- Walking to and from parks with spacing (we don’t hold hands at Spark).
- Social distancing inside the studio (stations spaced out for 8 kids).
- Using the stairs (no elevator) to access studio.
- CDC child safe 3-foot zones when outside to maintain distance.
- Daily disinfecting / cleaning of studio before and prior inside classes (the standard practice of operating since May).
Kindly put, if you are uncomfortable with any of this or you are not ready (which is fine!) then this program isn’t for you. We have lots of virtual classes for your kids that they can participate in.
You will be given the courtesy to switch days one time, going back and forth is logistically challenging and confusing for the program and the school.
