Hi! I'm Katie.

As a former elementary school teacher, I have a passion for helping children learn through hands-on experience instead of rote memorization. As a mom of three, I understand that the demands of parenting + work can make it tough to consistently offer those learning experiences at home.

I have experience teaching science, leading elementary science clubs, and hosting summer STEAM classes. Combining science, literacy, and art, Little Sparks classes engage every student and leave them itching to learn more.

Making learning accessible for all

Teaching your kid isn't as scary as it's made out to be.

Every game, conversation, and interaction is a chance for your child to learn something new.

All Little Sparks classes are designed with the belief that:

Kids learn best by doing.
Young brains are capable of learning big concepts.
Children need consistent exposure to rich picture books.
The world is full of amazing things.
Kids need opportunities to be creative and get messy.
We should be preparing this generation for a workforce heavily dominated by STEM jobs.

Little Sparks classes help develop these skills:

Fine motor skills
Problem-solving skills
Innovation
Self-expression
Social skills
Self-esteem
Time management and planning skills
