Fostering creativity through the power of nature
Welcome to Roots, Kids World's newly launched learning lab, where we've taken our 20 years of research in child development to design a new kind of nursery. Here at Roots, we blend the best of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and nature-based learning to create bespoke learning journeys for every child. We believe that education should be as individual as each little learner who walks through our doors. With Montessori's focus on self-directed learning, Reggio Emilia's emphasis on creative expression, Waldorf's foundation of storytelling and the sensorial benefits of the natural world, we offer an environment where every child can grow and explore at their own pace. Join us and let's nurture these young roots together!
