It is a wonderful, nurturing place for children and their families. Willa and Ashlee care for and guide our son in a gentle, respectful, and fun way.

The owner is a bully, if she thinks she "knows" your family and does not like someone she singles…read moreout the child. Singled out our child about a developmental milestone she thought we were behind in and threatened to call CPS. I was called to pick up our child because she was throwing up and basically lethargic, it was heat stroke! They do not keep the kids cool it was hot out and the kids should have been in air conditioning, we were told to keep our child home for the next day, which of course we wanted that too but there were other kids displaying symptom's they just took zero responsibility and thats dangerous. One time I pulled in to the driveway and a teacher was out there looking for one of the kids! The parking lot is very busy! We are so much happier now, our child is thriving, we were stuck there due to legalities and covid, it was difficult to find a spot in a new place but we are free from it all now! Theres a reason there are no cameras in there, the staff is not happy there either, one teacher was super but Im sure shes gone by now. There is alot of highschool like gossip there but its grown up women, we were also lied to. I do not recommend this place at all but especially if you are involved in Child Custody, divorce, or ANY situation because this woman owner WILL make it her business to get involved and to use the situation as leverage, as I stated she is a bully.

My family has had a wonderful experience at Roots N Shoots! The thought, knowledge and dedication…read moreLynn has for this school is immediately apparent when walking in the door. Everything is very well thought out and executed from the beautiful physical space she has set up inside and outside her home, the art projects the kids do, the monthly learning themes (ocean, farm, weather, etc), the guest teachers she brings in (art, yoga, etc) and the field trips they go on. One of my favorite things about Roots N Shoots is the emphasis on outdoor play and connecting with our regional natural world. The hours are also great (9-3) - really allows me to get things done and for my son to be fully immersed in the day. Plus we have met really fantastic families through Roots N Shoots. Some of our closet friends in Maine! We couldn't be happier with our son's experience.

Choosing a first school experience for your first child is a tall order. We were looking for a…read moresmall group setting with an outdoor/play focus in a comfortable, caring, nurturing, environment - something I wasn't even sure existed until we found Lynn Rutter and Roots n Shoots. We couldn't have been more pleased from the minute we walked in the door, and from our first experience with Lynn. Clearly dedicated to the early childhood experience of play and exploration as the path to authentic learning, Lynn's connection to children and her ability to create a beautiful, welcoming, engaging environment for them is beyond compare. Playing and learning in the woods, backyards and gardens; exploring the neighborhood; creating art; doing yoga; putting on performances - the kids at Roots n Shoots have the luckiest, most appropriate preschool experience I can imagine. Not only our child, but we ourselves, have made lifelong friends in the other Roots n Shoots families. I'm so happy that this is our daughter's (and hopefully, in a couple years, our son's) first experience with how wonderful school can be.
