Program Overview

Hosted on the shared grounds of the Willow School campus and the Unity Spiritual Center of Vero Beach, Sprout & Sky is a nine-week, nature-based summer program for children ages 5–8, thoughtfully designed to support early childhood development through outdoor exploration, creativity, and hands-on learning.

Each week introduces a new thematic focus that invites children to explore the natural world through sensory play, science and nature discovery, storytelling, movement, art with natural materials, and social-emotional learning. The program balances guided activities with open-ended play, allowing children to follow curiosity, build confidence, and form meaningful connections.

Days follow a gentle rhythm that includes welcome circles, nature exploration, creative invitations, free play, shared meals, quiet reflection, and group projects. This structure provides consistency while leaving space for imagination, wonder, and joyful discovery.
