FALL 2026 ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN
We are currently enrolling our outdoor preschool/kindergarten classes for 2026-27 school year. Classes will be held Tuesday-Friday 8:30am-12:30pm. These classes will begin September 2026 and end in June 2027. Space is limited. Registration is not guaranteed until confirmed and deposit is received.
A gentle, grounded start to learning - we believe early childhood education should honor the magic of childhood, the wisdom of the land, and the joy of community. Through tending the garden, caring for animals, exploring the land and sharing homemade farm-fresh food, Root and Rise helps children grow strong in body, nature, and curiosity.

Holistic Development: social, emotional, physical, cognitive - through free play and guided discovery, children develop social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills while forming a deep connection to the land and the outdoors

Tuesday – Friday | 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM
While each day brings something new, our time together follows a gentle daily rhythm that helps children feel secure and engaged. This flow includes a balance of group connection, hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, creative projects, and nourishing breaks. By moving through familiar patterns without a strict timetable, we create space for curiosity, collaboration, and the natural unfolding of the day.
