Spread the happiness.

It makes us happy to be part of a community of happy kids and happy parents.  At KidsPark we are committed to spreading that happiness to your community with our KidsPark Sparkler micro-grant program. This program awards micro-grants for specific art, music, dance, and culinary art events to non-profit licensed preschools through public grade 3 classrooms. KidsPark Sparkler micro-grants are helping to keep the Arts in our community’s classrooms. 

Dynamite Montessori's wish was granted!
Congratulations to KidsPark’s Sparkler Micro-grant recipient.  The grant paid for the Cave Creek, AZ school to send 5 classrooms to see Alice in Wonderland at the Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre.  The requestor, Su-shien Cho, said, "It was heartwarming. After the performance many of the little kids came up to me and told me it was their first time seeing a play!"  See their reaction.

Children learned about plays, singing, acting and working together as a cast.  They may have budding thespians in the group, … children asked about auditioning.  KidsPark is thrilled to provide opportunities for children to explore and appreciate The Arts.

Add sparkle to your happy community.  Apply.

At KidsPark, we see the impact of The Arts on our kids and we are committed to helping them expand their experiences. We believe in the power of your child's imagination and the artistic expressions they create.  Let us add glitz to your kids' classrooms by applying for a KidsPark Sparkler micro-grant.  Whether art, music, dance or culinary expression, everything is better with some extra sparkle.
