Mothers. Nature. Nurturer.

At Branching Roots Nature School we spend our days outside, we learn together as a group, we enjoy crafts and devotional time, some structured lessons and lots of time to explore and work together to accomplish goals. No matter the weather we meet weekly and enjoy a day of learning and exploring together.

Explore

We spend hours in nature exploring the world around us. No weather is too harsh for us to enjoy nature.

This nature school is multi-age. We have older children helping younger children throughout the day with tasks and projects.

Play

All of our play is nature based and imagination driven.

Adventure awaits at every corner. In both large and small groups children adventure in to the woods to use their imaginations and learn.

Learn

Learning is constant and mostly child led. There are micro lessons built in to every week that are built around the current season.

Our Photos

At Branching Roots, we believe that every moment spent in nature is a moment of discovery, where children embody the spirit of adventure and curiosity while forging lasting connections with their peers and the world around them. Our gallery captures these joyful explorations, showcasing the laughter, creativity, and learning that blossom under open skies. Each image tells a story of hands-on experiences, where children climb trees, splash in puddles, and embark on imaginative journeys, all while nurturing their innate love for the environment.

Reviews

The first day we walked into the barn at Branching Roots, it was exactly how I imagined a nature school for my children. The setting is peaceful and lovely. My three boys can take a long time to warm up to new friends, and over the past year, they’ve been able to make several friends. There is nothing better to me now than to see my kids run off into the woods with their friends excited to imagine and discover together. The outdoor setting allows space for plenty of wiggles and whispers, short attention spans, and working at one’s own pace-most of which can’t happen in a traditional classroom. I can honestly say my children thrived over the past year because of Branching Roots. The ability to connect on a deeper level with the moms has also been an essential piece for me. How many moms get to see their friends on a weekly basis for a whole day?! Making mom friends that also are choosing a slower, nature-enriched approach to life and also love Jesus has been such a gift.

Hi Nature Friends! I just wanted to reach out and give a bit of a testimony regarding Branching Roots and what it has given/meant to my family. Especially if you are on the fence. I was once there too! We were a new homeschooling family last year looking for a new “tribe” that held similar values to ours and could eventually become our village. If I’m being honest I was a bit skeptical of investing into nature school for my family, however, Jessie was so understanding, reassuring and welcoming. She has such a bubbly personality that truly cares for each and every person that comes into her life. We only joined last Spring, but it was the best decision! My kiddos (13,5,3) looked forward to going every week and always talked about the things they learned or the fun they had with their new friends. In fact my 3 year old told me every night his favorite part of the day was nature school, even if it wasn’t Thursday 😂 Branching Roots is more than a weekly outing, it’s a family. Watching my kids connect with all various ages in our favorite place (the great outdoors) has been such a blessing! I know it will be a core memory when we reminisce about all our homeschooling adventures in the years to come! We hope to see you at the barn! And are so excited that you are even considering joining us and our feral kiddos! Kidding about the feral part, well slightly 😂
