Love Letters from our Wild Roots Family
Hear from our community!
There is one word that comes to mind when I think of this school: JOY! My daughter was so happy being there. After a difficult time (my daughters painful surgery, family difficulties, and moving to Temecula CA) we were worried about finding the right school, specially because she had been in a Montessori school since she was 2. She had been through so much, we wanted to make a smooth transition for her finding a holistic learning school similar to what she was used to. So we found Wild Roots! As soon as you walk in you can feel the love for the children.
My daughter wanted to stay the day we visited (she was 5). One of the most important things for us is that their approach to learning would maintain that little sparkle and thirst for knowledge that kids naturally have. Once she started, she was very engaged in learning, and since their program is hands on, she just thrived! We felt welcomed to this city by the embrace of this loving school. My child arrived and left each day joyful.
Learning was relevant for her and we noticed her mental and emotional growth everyday at home. We felt that every aspect of our child’s development was carefully nurtured. This gave us a sense of peace and trust since kids spend so many hours at school. Now that they have opened elementary (which brought me to happy tears just to hear their approach), I am so excited!”

My daughter has been going here for about a year and a half and has grown so much in skills, confidence and language. She is 2.5 years old and can cut with real scissors, help prepare food for her friends, participates in music lessons and loves the art and sports they offer daily.
When I toured other daycares, I found the rooms and environment to be jarring, even for me. Every space filled with bright colors, an overwhelming amount of activities, and not enough time to allow children to be independent. With Wild Roots, their atmosphere is the opposite – activities for the children to choose from are laid out in a way that encourages independence and confidence and their calming and well designed classrooms encourage children to take time for themselves in thoughtfully placed reading nooks, painting corners, or other designated spaces.
Your child is treated as a growing person who has individuality, rather than a number that needs to be pushed into the daily structured routine.”

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.
We love the way they give the children space to learn through individuality. We love the natural elements and the natural, comforting environment. I love that there are no plastic toys. We love the teachers and staff, and my kids do too. We also have enjoyed the extra curricular activities like the music program and the Friday night parties so the parents get a night out.
My daughter went through the TK program and she’s already reading full books by the end, and comes home with really interesting facts about all kinds of cultures. I consider it perfectly challenging while still being supportive of growth, emotional intelligence, and play. We’ve also loved the field trips! The staff, especially Ms Tanya, has been so accommodating to us. If there we If you want a loving, safe, nurturing, and supportive place for your children to thrive in, then send them to Wild Roots!”

My girls have been attending Wild Roots for a few years now. We have been nothing less than impressed by the center’s philosophies, environment and staff. 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. They teach life skills and encourage independence. The staff is loving and always maintains a healthy and safe environment. I couldn’t see them anywhere else!

My daughter, Charlotte, just completed preschool at Wild Roots and we are so sad to say goodbye to so many wonderful teachers and friends! Miss Lidia and Miss Lindy are two that left a lasting impression on me and my family. Their communication and weekly emails made the me feel like an active participants in Charlotte’s experience. The amount of love and attention they showed her was incredible. She was always eager to go to school because they always had something different and fun for the kids to learn from. I love their philosophy and felt that they really encouraged learning from nature and their environment and taught them basic skills from a Montessori approach.
An additional reason I chose Wild Roots was the school days are 6 hours. Furthermore, I loved the amount of different activities and additional programs that the school offers. We had Charlotte in their sports program. I never signed her up for the music program, but I would have if she continued to go their through kindergarten! I would have kept Charlotte in for kindergarten but we live too far away to drive to Wild Roots five days a week.
If you have the opportunity to send your kiddo here, I would recommend it over and over!

Wild roots is hands down the best Preschool in the Temecula/Murrieta area. This school has been a godsend for our family and has made a huge positive impact on our two kids(2 and 3 years old) in addition to our family unit.
Every member of the staff including the owner have a clear understanding of their mission and passionately work towards the betterment of each and every student. This is NOT your every day run of the mill daycare.
Wild Roots will change your kids! They will come home every day with more confidence, independence, emotional intelligence, life skills, control over themselves and their emotions! Wild Roots is helping us create more than just smart kids, they are helping us mold amazing human beings. I feel that my kids are building a foundation of skills and intelligence that will fuel their personal growth for the rest of their lives. I also love the fact that WR is more than just a great preschool, it is also a thriving community of like minded parents and teachers who are all focused on the development of our loved little ones.”

My son has been going here since he was a little over 2 years old. We adore all the staff members and my son has made wonderful friends over the years! Wild Roots treats everyone like family, you are always greeted by the friendly staff at every drop off and pick up. I never have to worry about my son when he is in their care because I know he is safe and sound. He has so much fun in the art studio, learning tai chi, and learning important fundamentals during their “work periods”.
When the children have their work period this is free play in the classroom, to the kids all the activities provided seem like fun games and toys as they’re pulling them off the shelves, but each one is teaching them something important. Whether it’s fine tuning their motor skills, recognizing letters and numbers, or matching animals to their location (air, water, or land etc).
So much care and detail is always put into every activity and special event provided. Each staff member truly has an overflowing heart for all of our children. Time had flown by and now my son is beginning Kindergarten at Wild Roots and we are excited for another amazing year! If you’re looking for a safe and loving environment for your children to thrive in this is the place to be.”
