Spark Academy is a boutique, play-based preschool in Morton, Illinois — founded and led by Dr. Michelle Peterson, Ed.D., one of the only doctoral researchers in early childhood education leading a preschool in Central Illinois. We are not a daycare. Every day is built on the Purposeful Play Framework — academic play, a monthly-changing Developmental Playroom, and a daily enrichment rotation of Spanish, STEM, Art, Communication, and Music & Movement. Every activity has developmental intention. Nothing is filler. Our programs serve children ages 3 through Kindergarten, plus supplemental offerings for school-age families: Discovery Station (homeschool enrichment), After-School Enrichment, and Camp Play (summer camp, ages 3–11). Tuition is all-inclusive — teachers, curriculum, school supplies, art materials, and daily snacks are all covered. No supply lists. No hidden fees. No mid-year add-ons. Our Open Door Policy means parents can walk into classrooms anytime without appointment, and our staff knows every family by name. Our behavior philosophy is simple: behavior is communication. Connection before correction. Children are never shamed or labeled. Purposeful Play. Exceptional Beginnings. Schedule a tour: sparkacademymorton.com or 309-291-3292.
