Take Root Mission

Outdoor Learning in the Forest & by the Sea

Take Root Forest School’s mission is to facilitate outdoor experiences that inspire the curious mind, instill love and appreciation for nature, and nurture positive and holistic living. Encompassed in the mission is the understanding that being in and with nature encourages respect and admiration for the environment and all living things – cultivating the growth of healthy and diverse communities.

Using a whole-child, emergent learning approach, Take Root’s team tends to the ROOTS of GROWTH. The team of Teachers & Nature Guides supports the needs of the children – leading them through a learning process that nurtures their souls, feeds their minds and strengthens their bond with the community.  Take Root nourishes the ROOTS – tilling the soil in preparation for healthy growth of body and mind – allowing space for each child to find their Sense of Place.
