At Roots & Wings, our mission is to nurture young hearts and minds through a gentle, joyful approach to early learning, inspired by the timeless wisdom of Charlotte Mason. We believe that childhood is a sacred season, meant to be protected, celebrated, and filled with wonder. In our home-based co-op, children grow in connection with God, nature, and one another as they explore a rich and meaningful world at a pace that honors their development.
We aim to plant strong roots in truth, goodness, and beauty—while giving our children the wings to grow into lifelong learners who are curious, kind, and deeply grounded in who they are.
1. Gentle Beginnings
We honor each child’s natural pace and curiosity. Learning is not rushed but gently invited through stories, hands-on exploration, and unstructured play.
2. Living Books & Noble Ideas
We believe children deserve rich ideas. Our days are filled with living books that awaken their imaginations and nurture moral and intellectual growth.
3. Time in Nature
Fresh air and nature walks are essential. We cultivate a deep sense of wonder and connection with God’s creation through daily time outdoors.
4. Habits & Character
Rather than rigid rules, we gently train habits of attention, kindness, and responsibility—laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and living.
5. Simplicity & Beauty
We value simple rhythms, beautiful surroundings, and time for quiet reflection. We avoid overstimulation and emphasize peace and presence.
6. Faith & Family
Our days are rooted in the love and truth of Jesus Christ. Through Scripture, prayer, and song, we point children toward the goodness of God and the beauty of His creation. We walk alongside families as co-laborers in Christ, honoring each child as a precious image-bearer and guiding them gently in the knowledge and love of the Lord.
