Take Root Forest School provides enriching and holistic outdoor learning experiences for South Florida homeschooling children ages 3-12, in both Ft. Lauderdale and N. Miami. During the forest school year (September-June) families have the option of 2-5 days of holistic nature-based enrichment for their homeschooling children. Children are invited to continue their outdoor experience during the Spring and Summer breaks by participating in Take Root's Forest Fun Camp.Take Root Forest School uses a multi-subject approach to learning - focusing on exploration, play and discovery. Using holistic methodologies, the teachers and guides combine language arts, cultural studies and history, science and mathematics, place-based ecology and stewardship with a forest school approach based on the rhythm of the seasons and sensory awareness and the students’ discoveries in the forest. This model allows for development of the whole child...Head (through transformative experience and reflection), Heart (through relating) & Hands (through engagement). Forest Fun Camp provides a safe environment for imaginative play, outdoor skills, team-building and FUN.Take Root Forest School is a COMMUNITY. We gather to explore, learn and discover - ourselves, nature and each other. Each participating member of Take Root Forest School is welcome to attend 2 beach picnics, 3 nature field trips, and 3 seasonal family festivals. There are opportunities for stewardship, volunteering and getting involved in the community and environment. Families and the wider community are an integral part of our learning program.
