We are a Forest Learning Community

As a Forest Learning Community…
- We Learn
- We Play
- We Connect…with Nature, Ourselves & Each Other
- We Play
Take Root Forest Learning Community offers unique play and learning experiences in an oasis of trees – in parks and natural areas, away from the fast-paced sprawl of the S. Florida urban jungle. Outdoor experience develops a sense of wonder for the natural world – creating a love and respect that will grow with each child as they grow, inspiring a healthy eco-literate culture. It is every person’s right to find their place in nature and their sense of self.

Take Root is a COMMUNITY, where children and their families come together to play and learn. In addition to the wide range of nature-based classes and camps available to young learners, the whole family can engage through family nature field trips, seasonal festivals, as well as parenting workshops and classes. There are also opportunities for stewardship, volunteering and getting involved in the local community and environment.
Take Root follows the rhythms of the seasons and integrates what is happening that day, in that place into the daily flow. The forest children explore, play and experience their world, asking questions and building curiosity. Learning emerges from the interests and curiosities of the children.
During the Forest School Year, September-June, the Forest Learning Community Members are invited to join 3 Family Field Trips, 3 Seasonal Family Festivals, 2 Family Beach Picnics, and more. Forest Camp kids are welcome to experience forest school in the summer at the Bonnet House and Birch State Park in June & July. Parent Workshops and Trainings take place on specific dates during the forest year.
Take Root is a learning community and does not act as a child-care. Take Root does not provide child care services. Instructional classes are offered as support to supplement each child’s home-school experience. Camp takes place during the summer for children ages 5+.
