Creative Spark Children's Theater states that it is an ALL-inclusive children's theater program that believes all children, regardless of needs or ability, should have the opportunity to experience the magic of theater. Its classes are described as being designed to grow the love of theater through imaginative play, and the inclusion-based program is described as being designed to equally serve neurotypical children, neurodivergent children, and those with all needs. The program states that it specializes in working with students who identify as neurodivergent, including but not limited to ADD, ADHD, Anxiety, ASD, Dyspraxia, and Dyslexia. It states that each child will have the opportunity to learn from compassionate instructors, and that each instructor has an open-door policy for those who may need additional guidance through each class. The stated goal is to enhance the lives of all children by breaking down stereotypes and empowering them to develop friendships, confidence, and general life skills through the medium of performing arts.

The listed instructors are Jaimee Semsky and Emma Wydogen. Staff have attended workshops and trainings with CoCoKids, Help Me Grow, Quality Matters, Early Childhood Investigations, and iTheatrics. Families are instructed to bring water and a healthy nut-free snack daily.
