Introducing Wonder Roots, our nature and play-based pre-k program for ages 4-6; a perfect progression from our popular Wilderness Whimsy classes!

In Wonder Roots our Questers get to grow their knowledge and appreciation of nature as well as engaging with developmentally appropriate and emergent learning invitations.

This three-day a week afternoon program sets a strong foundation for future learning in both traditional and alternative settings, documented and assessed in a holistic way through the use of the WA Gold standard.

Using an anti-bias and culturally responsive approach we aim to validate and celebrate our differences, similarities and universal connections to nature. Our goal is to guide and support your child through learning in Nature and developing the skills needed for the rest of their learning journey. 

Focus and outcomes include:

  • Knowledge of Natural Systems and Environment

  • Alphabet Awareness and Knowledge

  • Social, Emotional, and Linguistic Expansion

  • Gross and Fine Motor Expansion

  • Math and Shape Expansion
