Welcome to Roots to Grow Nature Learning. We are a community of learners, based in beautiful Yarrow, BC. From Kindergarten to Grade 5 we share a part time nature based learning opportunity. We range from forests to farms to wetlands and through communities. Learning as we grow!
Our Mission:
To enrich the educational experience through student-centered, nature-focused, community-based learning.
Our Vision:
Cultivate respect for the natural world through connecting children to the land.
Foster relationships with those who connected with the land before us and acknowledge that our programs take place on unceded Sto:lo territory.
Create space for children to challenge their minds and bodies through child-led and experiential learning.
Encourage regenerative/permaculture principles to environmental stewardship.
Provide a multi-generational learning space where both children and teachers are respected as having equal value.
Recognize the importance of arts and culture by supporting learning through visual arts and associated storytelling.
Support the natural state of compassion based on the principals of nonviolent communication.
