Early Years
Our exciting early years shows, events and activities are perfect for children under five years old and their families. We want young children to have access to high quality, creative and playful encounters from the very beginning of their lives!
Spark Early Years Programmes
Small Wonders
Small Wonders is child-led, parent powered, and artist facilitated.
Exciting creative play and storytelling sessions for young children (ages 0-4) and their families across five libraries and four children’s centres in Leicester. These sessions empower children through the creative process, enabling their voices to be heard in both real and imagined worlds. Giving babies and toddlers the opportunity to play, explore, create, and move with our amazing Spark artists.
Music Champions
At The Spark we believe that everyone is musical and at a key time in their development, we want young children to have access to high quality, musical, playful encounters.
Working in partnership with Leicestershire Music Hub and Leicester City Council Early Help team, this project supports early years practitioners and musicians to work in schools, children’s centres and nurseries to explore and play with sound and music.
Early Years CPD
We are keen to support early years practitioners, teachers and artists to develop their confidence, knowledge and skills in working with younger children. This includes the Leicester and Leicestershire Early Years Network which we run in partnership with Leicestershire Music Hub.
