🌱 We’re ever growing and looking for dedicated educators!

Who we’re looking for:
• Value connection and curiosity over checklists
• Are comfortable thinking outside the box
• Love working with mixed ages and meeting kids where they are
• See the beauty in a relationship-centered environment
• Can balance structure with flexibility

This isn’t a sit-at-your-desk kind of job. It’s active, engaging, sometimes messy, and incredibly meaningful.

If you’re someone who wants to be part of a community where kids are excited to learn (and genuinely sad to miss a day), we’d love to connect.

Everyone has experienced or heard of kids faking sick so they don’t have to go to school.

Here, we experience the opposite more often.

We’ve seen kids try their very best to power through a bad cough because they don’t want to miss the day—ask us not to call their parents. They are genuinely disappointed when they have to stay home and miss out. We’ve even had learners, fresh from getting teeth pulled, asking if they can come right back. Oh, and crying the last day of school because they know they won’t be back for a couple months. 😢

The contrast is a little funny, but also something deeper. When children feel connected, when their days are filled with meaningful work, real relationships, and hands-on experiences, school becomes a place they truly want to be. It’s not just somewhere they go, it’s somewhere they belong.

Of course, we still send them home to rest when they need it, but it speaks volumes that they really are disappointed when they have to leave.

And honestly, it’s something special to be a part of. Getting to witness that kind of joy, connection, and love for learning every day is a reminder of why this work matters so much.

We’re hosting four summer camps at Willow Roots Learning Center—designed for kids who like to be outside, stay curious, and learn by doing:

Spend the day digging, planting, watering, and caring for animals while learning how food moves from soil to table.

🥫 Food Preservation Camp (June 8–10)

Just an hour away from a GREAT TIME! ☀️
We hope to see you soon!!!

🌟Kids weren’t made to sit inside all day 😉
We’ll take sunshine over fluorescent lights any day ☀️

We didn’t get a new teacher… but we did get a bride 💍✨

Our beloved Miss Caroline is now Mrs. Caroline, and this weekend was nothing short of magical.

But what made it even more special…
was who got to be part of her big day 🥹

Her sweet Sprouts.

We had the honor of watching these little learners prepare for their moment — practicing, giggling, and absolutely beaming with excitement for their teacher. And then… the moment came. A dance they will never forget 💛

Because that’s who Mrs. Caroline is.

She doesn’t just teach… she loves deeply, she pours intentionally, and she creates the kind of connection that leaves a lasting imprint on little hearts.

And this weekend, those same little hearts got to celebrate her.

What a gift. What a memory. What a beautiful reflection of the love she gives every single day ✨

Help us celebrate Mrs. Caroline and this incredibly special moment 💕🎉
