Our Learning
Roots Curriculum
Our holistic approach focuses on supporting the growth of your child’s body, mind, and soul using the outdoors as our nature-led, wall-less learning ground.
BODY
The body is crucial for health and is a dynamic vessel for early years learning.
Children learn primarily via movement and sensation. Only when feeling comfortable in their body are they receptive to learning. Being outdoors means plenty of exercise and strength building as well as creating healthy, long-lasting habits for future growth.
MIND
Equal emphasis placed on mental development and building resilience.
Our focus is to support children in 'how' to think, not 'what' to think so they become problern-identifiers and solution-finders. The outdoors is a natural spark for curiousity. The changing seasons provide cognitive stimulation, especially for speech, language and knowledge..
SOUL
Promoting wellbeing and positive social skills. Formulating a sense of self is key, along with building character and values for lifelong guidance in life. We create time to slow down and connect with our inner-self through breathing, mindfulness and yoga. By cultivating their conscience calmness and kindness naturally develop.
The EYFS Curriculum
We also cover the EYFS curriculum set out by Ofsted. You can read more about it here.
Traditionally the EYFS is taught inside classrooms but we find the outdoors provides an enriching environment to achieve these learning goals.
