About Little Root

Little Root is a small, relationship-based preschool where teachers have the opportunity to truly know the children they work with. Our program is inspired by Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, emergent curriculum, nature-based education, and developmentally appropriate practice.

We value children's curiosity, creativity, independence, and sense of belonging. We believe young children learn through meaningful relationships, play, movement, nature, and hands-on experiences.

We also value our teachers and strive to create a supportive environment where staff can bring their own strengths, ideas, cultures, and interests into the classroom while continuing to grow professionally.

If you are looking for a preschool where relationships matter, teachers work closely together, and you can be an active part of children's everyday lives, we would love to hear from you.
