We believe early childhood education should honor the magic of childhood, the wisdom of the land, and the joy of community. Through food, farming, and forest play, Root and Rise helps children grow strong in body, nature, and curiosity.

Program Details

  • 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.
