Spark a Movement, brought to you by the Pediatric Movement Center, aims to ignite and mobilize individuals to do their part in developing a supportive and inclusive community that provides recreational, educational and leisure opportunities for children of all abilities.

Our show is designed to give listeners insightful and practical information that affect our children, as well as providing listeners with inspiring stories from local families. In each podcast, we will tackle a variety of topics that affect children physically, emotionally, and socially. The Spark a Movement Podcast will host a range of guests to amplify the voices of our community leaders and experts in childhood development who work to create strong children.
