Spark is a voluntary program designed to support and recognize high quality early childhood care and education programs.  The Spark program not only helps early care and education professionals continue improving the quality of care they provide, but it also offers professional development and coaching and gives them access to resources, including funding, to make improvements to their child care programs.
