About

Spark Academy is a state-of-the-art, early childhood education program designed to nurture all children 6 weeks through Pre-Kindergarten.

Featuring an unparalleled educational environment, engaging curriculum and warm setting, Spark Academy uses a mixed-income model to ensure all children are prepared to shine in kindergarten, as well as within the larger community. Spark is reimagined early care and learning for a diverse population of families who seek an experience that will provide their child a strong foundation for success today and beyond.

Spark Academy employs the STREAMin3 curriculum model in our classrooms. Designed to engage children from birth to five years of age, this research-based system uses intentional teaching methods and focuses on developing skills through a variety of innovative, engaging, and hands-on learning experiences.

This comprehensive approach cultivates an inclusive community where each child’s unique learning needs are considered, and their individuality encouraged. Under the STREAMin3 approach, emphasis is placed not only on what children are learning, but also on how they learn best. In other words, what children are taught in their early years matters, but the way in which it's taught matters more. This idea speaks to the "in3" of STREAMin3: Integrated; intentional; interactions.
