The Rooted Learning Journey
Children grow through thoughtfully designed learning stages that nurture curiosity, confidence, and leadership over time. To best support our families, we are pleased to offer flexible full-time and part-time enrollment options (2, 3, or 4 days a week).
Now accepting new enrollments for 2026/2027. Available Tuesday–Friday (flexible 2, 3, and 4-day schedules).
Designed for our youngest learners, the Seedlings Program lays the vital groundwork for future scholastic and personal success. We focus on:
- Early Academics: Building the initial academic foundation through phonics and conceptual math exploration (counting, patterning, subitizing).
- Hands-On Discovery: Engaging in play-based learning and practical skill development to foster curiosity and master fine motor control.
- Social-Emotional Growth: Learning to self-regulate, express emotions healthily, and navigate early friendships with confidence.
- Faith & Character: Introducing core values of kindness, gratitude, and appropriate risk-taking in a highly nurturing environment.
Building upon the foundations laid in Seedlings, Little Roots challenges students to apply their knowledge while growing socially and spiritually:
- Academic Application: Advancing foundational skills into active application, focusing on reading fluency, reading comprehension, and computational math.
- Purposeful Inquiry: Transitioning from play-based discovery to guided scientific inquiry, hypothesis testing, and collaborative cross-curricular projects.
- Community Awareness: Growing from self-regulation to community responsibility, thriving in a mixed-age setting where they begin to mentor younger learners.
- Faith & Integrity: Deepening early character traits into a strong sense of personal integrity, boundless curiosity, and deep compassion.
As the culmination of the Rooted Learning Journey, Growing Roots prepares students to think deeply, lead boldly, and take on high-level academic challenges:
- Academic Mastery: Elevating applied academics into advanced critical thinking, comprehensive data analysis, and the confident articulation of complex ideas.
- Independent Problem-Solving: Progressing from guided inquiry to designing, managing, and executing robust, student-led original research.
- Meaningful Leadership: Stepping fully into role-model positions, utilizing persuasive public speaking and essay writing to positively influence their community.
- Faith in Action: Preparing for the next stage of their educational journey by actively leading others with humility, courage, and purpose.
