Our child was enrolled for a little over a month. The fees are astronomical- $490 to enroll, $1800/ month if your toddler needs to be there from 8 to 5. You'll be charged for every activity: Want your kid participate in this fun activity? $20 If not, your child will be "excluded." $100 to sing in the musical. They offer "hot lunch" for $250 a month - which is butter noodles and fruit. I'm sure some parents love the bohemian macabre style. But there was no sign in/out procedure so they didn't even know my child was absent for a week. My son is quiet, and we started picking up on the sense that he was being ignored. Perhaps they were once a great place for kids, but I believe they are resting on their laurels and overcharging families who desire a "holistic" natural environment. In short, keep looking.

We had a tour w the school May 2022. Soon after we had a 2nd virtual tour & paid the deposit for our child. After several mo of not hearing back, called amd emailed and left vms, finally received a reapsonse that our child was still on the wait list @ #4. When i did get ahold of someone to review programs, in preparation for our child attending, too often the program/class was not available. Not enough student interest? No teacher available to run it etc. Wondering if their website falsley advertises the learning opportunities. We continued waiting. We were/are still on the waitlist. It's now been a year or more since we paid to get on the waitlist. No calls or messages from them. I've made at least a dozen attempts for a status update and have received no response from the school. Ie texted, called, emailed, left vms etcAt this pt, have waisted too much time. Want nothing to do w the school. Obviously enrolled our daughter elsewhere. This will be my last interaction. Would like our wasted deposit back.

We've been with Wild Roots for a year and I have nothing but amazing things to say. From the hands-on, play-based curriculum to the genuine compassion the entire staff has for every child, we are so happy with the care our children receive every day. My kids are so excited to go in the morning, they love their teachers and have found friends in each classroom. I especially appreciate how teachers handle interpersonal conflict when it arises, encouraging children to work through problems, helping them find their words to communicate with each other, and mediating when needed. When I have questions or concerns, everyone is attentive and responsive, from teachers to administrative leaders like Ms. Lidia and Ms. Brittany. Our family feels valued and well-cared for and we're so happy to have found Wild Roots.

Our experience with their nanny service has been superb. They are very friendly, experienced, and professional. Most importantly, our kids are very happy with them. Thank you!

There are no words to describe how wonderful this school is! The holistic learning philosophy, focus on real life skills (not just rote memorization of the alphabet and numbers), and the incredibly kind and loving staff make this THE BEST SCHOOL around. Trust me, I've looked at sooo many. From the time you enter the doors you can feel the calm energy your kids will be surrounded by all day. The curriculum is real world, broad, and I've never felt like they were pushing any personal beliefs on my kids. I have 4 kids who all go to Wild Roots and my oldest has been here for nearly 4 years. He still loves it and that's saying something. They're always smiling and happy when I pick them up and I've watched them blossom into kind, smart, loving people under the care of Brittany and her staff and I can't thank them enough for keeping my kids happy, safe, and thriving each day. Can't give them enough stars! You won't regret choosing Wild Roots for your child/children's future.

We love Wild Roots! My daughter started earlier this year and it was a tough transition for her. She was in an in home day care before. The teachers and staff have all be incredibly supportive and attentive to her and her needs. They have all taken the time to get to know her and all of her little personality quirks. I love seeing the pictures posted of her and her class. They've truly cultivated a love of learning and independence for her!

Had an interesting experience to say the least. I was going in to sign my son up for their preschool program and left extremely disappointed by everything. First, it didn't seem very organized. The kids didn't seem happy. But to top it off there was a teacher wearing a "there are no genders" shirt. I can't believe this establishment allows their teachers to wear stuff like that. It was extremely unprofessional and highly inappropriate for a teacher to be wearing a shirt of that nature. I was almost shocked when Lidia was sort of defending her, claiming "she wouldn't push her beliefs unless the kids asked" I'm sorry, what? First of all we don't know what happens behind closed doors, second of all this isn't a social club, bar, restaurant, whatever. It's a school (glorified daycare) for young children and I can't believe they would allow that. You can have your beliefs but leave them at home. Kids should be learning kid stuff, end of story. Some 5 year old sees that and confuses her, it's just wrong man. I would never let my kids go here. Ever.

Unfortunately it was a bad experience for both me and my 4 years old son at your school and WOW we could feel that from only 3 days with 4 hours a day !! It is very sad and disappointing that I had a great belief in your school's philosophy and apparently you do not have a clear understanding of autistic children or even " holistic "learning process !It is OK to say that you do not have experience or training to deal with children on the spectrum, however it is NOT OK to tell me on 2 different tours I scheduled with you that you have experience with autistic children and that you had some kids on the spectrum in your school !!The second tour I scheduled intentionally to inform you that my son is autistic and how is your experience with autistic children in your school. You reassured me that it is ok and you had similar cases with no issues . Actually other good respected schools told me on the phone that I need an aid for my son because they don't have the ability or staff to give my son the attention he needs. I appreciated their honest response from the beginning and didn't even need to tour with them because I know I don't wanted to try to find an aid which is not an easy process at all!!I also withdrew my son from another school when you called me because you were the first on my list !! My son cried for 3 hours at night of the third day with your school My child does not cry and sleep very well. My son was telling me in his own way of communication that he was not happy and not treated well at your school . The teacher Nikki didn't try to make any eye contact with me on third day of school in morning and didn't talk to me at all on second day instead she kept letting Lidia the manager call me everyday and tell me about all the "bad stuff" that my son did like messing up his food and not cleaning or like running to playground because he wanted to play outside ! My son is not aggressive in any way and if you encountered anything like that then to be honest with you this tells me a lot about how he feels about your staff and your school .My son is involved with so many activities and attended preschool for the whole last academic year. I never encountered what you guys reported on the first three days of his attendance ! Having a two weeks trial is for sure inhumane and rude thing to say and write in your policy to any parent regardless if their child is neurotypical or special need or autistic ! Are you saying that if the child is not a good child you will terminate him!?? Is this ethical ?! Not sure if it is legal or have any discrimination bias in it ?!!Are you even a parent ? Do you hear what you are saying in this 2 weeks trial ? Lots of kids even neurotypical will need way more than 2 weeks to adjust to a new environment!!So this is my feedback and I shared it with the mothers and families I know . My son will continue to be an amazing, smart and loving boy with beautiful smile and soul that everyone adore when they meet him. my son happiness is more important than anything .

This is the perfect school if you are someone who wants to look beyond traditional public education. The most important thing to understand is WR believes school time is school time and home time is home with family. (work/school/life balance teachings from the start!) I've had my child enrolled since 3 years young and her mentality has grown so much. I've always valued the importance to develop emotional intelligence from a young age and WR stands this value everyday. I was shocked when I received an email from the school sharing news my child hasn't been herself for a few days. The school teacher asked what they can do at school that will also make sense to her when she goes home. The school teacher took my suggestions and noticed right away my child was herself again. I couldn't have asked for a better team of wonderful teachers because the entire teams truly CARES!

Was not the school for my child. I also didn't like how we had only 20 minutes to discuss how our child was doing.I just don't think a Montessori school is for us, my child needs a smaller class size, as well as more structure.I should have learned more about Montessori before putting her in the school.Although if you love the idea of Montessori, I would recommend this school.

I am not one to write a review as it is a waste of my valuable time. But I feel I need to. The daycare/school does not equally charge families. If you have RCOE they charge extra. I thought smaller classrooms more attention to my child, not the case at all. They also don’t meet the needs of children with special needs. They had pizza Fridays weekly, $8 per child. If one child didn’t pay for the pizza Friday, then he had to watch another child eat pizza in front of them. There was also no set curriculum for the 1st grade program either. When the pandemic hit, they took the opportunity to overcharge parents who desperately needed childcare for their children. My children were at an actual Montessori school prior to this one , and they don’t come close to Montessori.I was very displeased with their service and do not recommend this provider.

My oldest son went here, loved the way the rooms where set up, the atmosphere of the facility, and the teachers.

I'm so thankful to have found this gem of a school for both my 2 year old and 8 year old. The entire staff at Wild Roots is phenomenal and wish the school grade level went all the way to 12th!
