The Young Child

In the tradition of Waldorf and Charlotte Mason, kindergarten at Growing Roots is a time of wonder. Children listen to stories, learn poetry, explore nature, music, and beautiful art. Developing the habits of attention, imagination, good attitude, self-control, responsibility, quality work, courage, and service creates a solid foundation for informal lessons the following year.
