Where childhood is wild, whole, and wonderfully free.

At Renewed Roots, learning is rooted in curiosity, relationship, and the wisdom of the natural world. Children spend their days outdoors exploring, noticing, creating, tending, and connecting with one another.

We serve families who want something different: a slower pace, a deeper rhythm, and a childhood that feels whole again within a structured, drop-off forest microschool led by a licensed educator.

A CALLING, A STORY, A GODWINK.

Renewed Roots began with a stirring, a quiet nudge that grew into a clear calling.
A series of Godwinks, perfectly timed doors, and a long-awaited piece of land brought this vision to life. Today, that stirring has become a home for families seeking something deeper.
