★★★★★Sarah ApplequistRooted and Free is a wonderful nature school led by an amazing team. My daughter and I enjoyed spending time with each other outdoors and exploring nature during the Explore Together program. It was a great opportunity for us to experience outdoor activities and fresh air during the cold winter months!
★★★★★Yasline WingetRooted and Free has been an incredible addition to our daughter's education! The nature enrichment program has truly encouraged her exploration and curiosity in the natural world. The hands-on experiences at the school have sparked her imagination and deepened her connection with nature. It has been a fantastic complement to our homeschool curriculum, providing unique learning opportunities that have enriched her overall educational experience. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience we have had at Rooted and Free and are very excited to see what the future has in store!
★★★★★Alyssa GardyaszWe love Rooted and Free! We participated in the Early Explorer class and now our daughter goes to preschool at R&F. Our daughter has thrived attending preschool here and we can’t wait to send her again next year. Ms Sally and Ms Elizabeth are two of her favorite parts of the week!
★★★★★Cassandra VanFleetThe Rooted & Free program is a joy to be a part of! My sons love nature school days and look forward to exploring each week. Their favorite part is the nature play space which is a charming corner of the forest with all sorts of open ended play opportunities that challenge their minds and bodies. An added bonus is all the wonderful friends/parents you meet! I highly recommend Rooted & Free.
★★★★★Jessica RobinsonRooted & Free has been the most amazing experience for my preschool children and my family! The environment created by Christie and all the instructors gives children the autonomy to learn how to think for themselves -and be themselves. Every child’s natural gifts are nurtured -my daughter is appreciated for her gift of compassion. Rooted & Free really is a loving community, where understanding is paramount to rules or standards and I can see the incredible difference it makes in my children and my family.
