A personal invitation from Dr. Peterson

When you visit, I want you to feel what our families feel every morning when they walk their child to the classroom door. This isn't a big-box program where children are managed in batches. It's a school where your child will be known by name, challenged at their level, and genuinely cared for.

I lead every tour myself because this decision matters too much to delegate. I want to hear about your child, answer your questions, and show you exactly how we'd support their growth.

Come see the classrooms. Watch the kids. Ask me anything. That's what the tour is for.

Let's plan your visit.

We'll be in touch on a weekday, usually the same day, to arrange a time that works for your family.

Your email or phone number — just one is enough.

Your information is private. We may save your progress briefly so we can help if you don’t finish booking.

A parent's perspective

One thing my husband and I strive to teach and instill in him is curiosity, and Spark is the perfect place for this. Since beginning at Spark, our son has begun to notice and identify letters while we are out and about. Spark is a wonderful partner with us as we seek together to spur on our son's love of learning and exploration.
— Holly, Spark Academy Parent

Common Questions

A few questions, answered.

Helpful details before you and your child visit our Morton classrooms.

How long does a tour take?
Most tours last about 30 minutes. If you have more questions, we're happy to take as much time as you need.
Should I bring my child?

Absolutely. We love when children visit! We want your child to feel comfortable in our school environment before their first day. Most children connect with Spark right away, and it’s not uncommon for them to ask their parents when they can come back.

What will I see during the tour?
You'll walk through all of our learning spaces, including the classrooms for your child's age group and the Developmental Playroom. If you visit during class hours, you'll see learning in action. Dr. Peterson leads every tour personally, so you'll have a chance to ask questions directly.
Can both parents come?
Absolutely. We encourage it. Choosing a preschool is a big decision, and we want both parents (or any caregivers involved in the decision) to feel confident and informed.
What if I'm not ready to enroll after the tour?
No pressure at all. Some families tour months before they're ready to enroll. Some visit more than once. We're here whenever you're ready, and if questions come up later, you can always reach out.
