Parents of children in the 1-2 year old class are encouraged to stay and participate! ​ Parents of children 3 and up are not permitted to participate in the workshops. We want to provide a learning environment with the least distractions, and also do not have adequate space in our schoolhouse to accommodate parents. We will send children home with handouts/information on what they are learning so that you can engage with your child! ​ **Parents are welcome to stay on the property during workshops, either in their vehicles or in a designated outdoor waiting area, weather depending**

As ROOTS is a registered business in the state of Delaware, we are required to follow the mask mandate guidelines. When there is no mask mandate, masks will be left up to parental discretion for both indoor and outdoor activities. Most of our lessons will take place outside, but we will be doing projects indoors (and in the instance of inclement weather). We practice handwashing and sanitize shared supplies.

They may include book readings, hands on activities, role playing, games, discussions, etc. We. are. more. than. yoga. We are an Enrichment Program!

Our programs do NOT teach on any spirituality. We focus on teaching tools for mindfulness, calming, and self-awareness through mindful movement.

You would become a huge part of a like-minded community that has a main goal of raising well-rounded children together! We would all be a part of building up our community around us and show our children what it's like to be altruistic by helping others. You will join a community that builds each other up, shows up, and supports each other.

We will always strive to be all inclusive with all ages at different field trips and community service experiences. We appreciate flexibility when it comes to certain businesses that may have their own restrictions. However, we will strive to find experiences that are all inclusive with ages.

Parks, nursing homes, nature centers, non-profits, Home of the Brave, homesteads, zoos, Lavender Fields, local farms, local greenhouses, beaches, orchards, hikes, and other small businesses/places!

Please register ahead of time in this Facebook group when we put out a registration link, per meet-up. Please note that some field trips will require registration well in advance and others may not even require registration!

We will always strive to have meet ups at this time but would appreciate some flexibility to allow for additional experiences; to not limit our experiences.

There will be a $50 per FAMILY annual fee to gain access to all community services opportunities & field trips. This will help to cover some costs and coordination associated with community service events. Field trips will be priced according to e/trip. We want to make sure UpROOTed is accessible to all so we will be striving for very low cost! We are aiming for most of our trips to be less than $10/child.

Please feel free to register as you can come; attendance is not mandatory.
