Ember & Root NWA

Costumes, set design, props, face paint, programs, directing—our kids did it ALL. 🎭✨

On our final day of enrichment for the school year, they created and performed a play based on the book, Dozens of Doughnuts. Theirs from start to finish, bringing their ideas, voices, and creativity together in a shared production.

Every child had a place—even if it was respectfully opting out, or joining in last minute for a small contribution. Whether leading on stage, building behind the scenes, designing props, supporting friends, or finding their own way to contribute. The result was a celebration of expression, collaboration, and belonging.

We value a space where all children are welcomed as they are, where differences are seen as strengths, and where creativity becomes a way to connect us.

And now…
☀️ Summer camps are just around the corner!
🍂 Fall spots are already starting to fill!

If you’re looking for a community where kids are known, included, and encouraged to grow toward their personal goals this is it!

👉🏾Apply today to join us for the next season of learning, creativity, and connection.

Throughout March, kids across all our programs were busy dreaming up, designing, and running their very own carnivals!

The balance of choice + structure during planning weeks was so special. Kids took the lead on planning and creating every detail—games, booths, experiences—while still having the freedom to explore other interests each session.

It was joyful and collaborative and the pride they felt sharing it with family and friends at the end was so cool!

So much meaningful fun happening here! Kids are exploring their curiosities, building creativity, and forming connections—across ages, through choice, collaboration, and laughter! We’re having a blast! Join the Spark! We’ve got summer programming starting in June and programs coming next month! Check out our website today!
