our mission
Every child is inherently worthy, capable, and whole.
Blossom and Root cultivates a learning environment where curiosity, creativity, and relationship are the true engines of growth. Children thrive when trusted to lead their own learning in freedom, held within a small community rooted in love, mutual respect, and belonging.
Our curriculum follows a Charlotte Mason inspired, nature-based rhythm — a classroom with an adjoining playground and walking trails, so the day holds both a vibrant indoor space and daily time outside.
about
Suzy Marie
Suzy spent eight years running The Village Playschool, an in-home early childhood program. She brings training in Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf approaches, graduate study in Integrative Psychology with a focus on attachment-based care, and certification as an herbalist.
Blossom and Root is the next chapter of that work — a deeper, more intentional focus on nature-based, Charlotte Mason inspired learning for this stage of childhood.
"Your child is not a project to be managed, but a whole person."
an inquiry
Let's chat.
We take only a handful of children, so it helps to reach out early. Tell us a little about your child and which days feel right.
