Wild Roots Kindergarten and TK (Transitional Kindergarten)
HELPING KINDERGARTENERS GROW INTO THEMSELVES – AND INTO CONFIDENT LEADERS.
Inspired by the Montessori method and Reggio Emilia approach to early learning, this one-of-a-kind kindergarten curriculum builds students’ confidence. It teaches them to reach deeper into their education. In this way, we nurture close connections to long-term projects and a sense of responsibility and ownership over their own learning.
DAILY LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Wild Roots’ TK / Kindergarten students are given daily opportunities to act as leaders in the primary program. This includes giving lessons, helping others, role modeling their work ethic. This leadership aides in reinforcement of confidence and pride.
SMALL GROUPS — INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION
Small groups allow for social and intellectual connectivity in all areas.
FIRST LEARN — THEN DO!
OPTIMIZING LEARNING ROUTINES
The children spend mornings working on core skills and receiving lessons. In the afternoon, they work collaboratively in the Atelier on projects where they practice and use the skills they’ve just learning. They work on creative and interest-led projects with various tools and mediums.
PROVIDING ENRICHMENT
Educational and enriching field trips (families are often invited!) allow children to experience in-depth and meaningful studies as extensions of their classroom work.

My girls love waking up each morning and going to school. They are learning and developing into independent, confident and kind little girls. I attribute a lot of that to the teaching approaches used at Wild Roots. They foster the interests of the children by following their lead.

I couldn’t be happier with this school. We’ve been there for 2 years now, and I wish they could just stay forever. I’m so grateful to live in the area so my kids can go to school here, I consider it a major blessing. For us, the best part is that it is holistic, nurturing, safe, and supportive.
