Spark Studio
Spark Studio is a place where our youngest learners (ages 4-6) come together to explore the world around them. In Spark, play is positioned as a subject just as important as reading and math. A focus on playful and project-based learning results in increased confidence, emotional intelligence, social skills, and independence. A science-based process complimented by Montessori materials guide our approach to math and reading instruction.
