Why Families Choose Thriving Roots:

Tired of chaotic classrooms, too much screen time, or lack of emotional support? At TREE, children are respected, nurtured, and guided in calm, connected environments built just for them. 

One of the biggest compliments we receive from parents who tour is how clean our school is. Cleanliness is a form of care at TREE and our classrooms reflect the standard of excellence we require for a calm, intentional environment.

Children thrive when they have choices within a predictable rhythm. Our daily flow balances movement and focus, independence and support, work and play. 

 We ditch the screens and lean into soil, sun, and seasonal living. TREE classrooms are grounded in real experiences: gardening, art, music, practical life, and outdoor exploration. 

No more being “just a number” in a crowded room. Our mixed-age classrooms and low ratios ensure every child is seen, heard, and supported by educators who truly understand early development. 

 We support more than just academics. Children grow emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually through our balanced Pedagogy Trio™ of Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio. 

Did you know the definition of "discipline" is simply "to teach"? If you've experienced time-outs, ignoring, or yelling in other settings, you're not alone. Our Conscious Discipline approach focuses on connection, emotional safety, and self-regulation. Not punishment. 

Looking for like-minded families and a school that believes in raising kind, grounded, independent humans? You’ve found your village. 

We honor parents as partners. Through open communication, daily updates, and shared tools, we keep you involved and informed in your child’s journey. 

 As a barefoot school, we support natural sensory development, emotional regulation, and connection to the Earth by helping children feel calm, focused, and rooted in their environment. 

 We honor each child’s natural hunger cues by teaching intuitive eating; offering clean, fresh snacks throughout the day without pressure, so children build a lifelong healthy relationship with food.
