Happy Roots

Holistic Preschool Curriculum

​

We believe that teaching moments should fit organically into everyday life. Too often workbooks and educational apps replace puddle-jumping and finger painting. Our aim is to keep the classic elements of good-old-fashioned play alive because this is how children learn best. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

Happy Roots is a holistic, research-based curriculum designed to align with what naturally inspires preschoolers to learn. 

​

They love to touch.

Feel.

Explore.

Taste.

Experiment.

​

We honor those qualities by allowing children to explore their world with wonder and creativity.

 

When children engage their senses with purposeful play, their learning is long-lasting, and meaningful.​
