Thank you for your interest in the one week Little Sprigs of Tampa Homeschooling Village.
We are more than a homeschooling village; we are a community devoted to nurturing the next
generation of well-beings.
We encourage little sprigs to explore within themselves and the world. Shaped by our philosophy and ways of being, we create a circle of kinship like the villages before us: strong in mind, full of love, and one with nature.
Our holistic approach to teaching is largely based on various program elements. Our program elements
will be taught for the duration of the week. Our program elements are the following:
Storytelling
Creative writing and pre-writing
Holistic math core foundations through play
Kindness and gratitude
Reading
Child-led learning
Holistic play
Art
Science
Health
Community
Creativity, and more!
The vision of Little Sprigs Homeschooling Village is to ignite children with a powerful sense of who they are, whilst embracing their naturally creative minds & spirits. Our homeschooling village is designed so that you and your little can flourish.
✓ Cozy classes up to 10 littles, Ages 3-8
✓ Deep commitment to nature connection, conscious parenting & mindfulness
✓ Loving educators with experience in psychology & nature-based education
✓ Full-time & flexible care options
✓ Organic & local breakfast, lunch & snack provided
We have a rooted education approach based on the following supported and created by whole beings:
Holistic innovation (A child’s organic ability to play with existing knowledge to create new ideas with a holistic disposition & outcome)
Connectedness ( A child is part of the connection that is learning, family, community, planet & universe)
Creativity (To openly create without bounds in expression & thinking. Each child is a creative being who learns & grows in a creative environment)
Mindfulness ( A child who practices mindfulness welcomes awareness, resilience & flow)
Spirituality ( Each child is a unique being with a spirit that radiates love & divine purpose)
We believe that consciousness is at the root of a well life. Our teaching team meditates daily on our work with the children and hold them in our hearts. With little ones, our days are anchored in age-appropriate meditation, breathwork, and yoga.
We support the education of our children through Waldorf practical life skills like baking bread, hands-on learning, storytelling and more.
Children should be in environments that support their unapologetic expression of self through many avenues. We support through art, music, dance, drumming and handicrafts. We call these rituals Expressions and they are integrated into every day.
