Our Roots

R.O.O.T.S. (Reaching Outside of Traditional Schooling)
cultivates lifelong learners and leaders through immersive, child-led, nature-based education on our vibrant homestead. Guided by the changing seasons and rooted in project-based learning, we nurture curiosity, exploration, and service. Our programs empower children to care for themselves, their community, and the environment, fostering resilience, compassion, and essential life skills to thrive in diverse settings and contribute meaningfully to the world.

 

ROOTS does this through farm and forest schooling in homeschool enrichment programs, summer camps, after-school programs, yoga & SEL classes, field trips, school & community collaborations, birthday parties, toddler nature exploration classes, and a flexible nature school as an alternative education option. Our vibrant learning environment includes pollinator gardens, food forests, nature playscape, and children's gardens, alongside the care of animals like goats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

Our Mission

We believe there is a monumental need to heal the disconnection between the people themselves, and the earth that provides for us. We are inspired to help raise up a generation of children who are deeply connected to the world around them, have the knowledge and practical life skills to live self-sufficiently, while promoting altruism to build community. Introducing children to these skills at a young age will establish an amazing foundation for their futures.

Talon's Journey

What a complete pleasure and honor it was to be awarded Top 38 Women in Business in DE, in Delaware Today, as a Power Player! That's less than 1% of women in business in Delaware!!!! We had such a great time at the luncheon, met so many other amazing women out there killing it! It was a bit surreal but it validated all of our hard work, passion, and dedication to our community! I cannot wait to continue growing these relationships and our wonderful ROOTS community! Thanks SO much for all YOU do to help support our mission
