Little Roots Academy

Led by a Yale and Berkeley educated teacher with a decade of teaching experience, Little Roots Academy provides an early childhood education that fosters a child’s love and respect for themselves, for others, and the world we live in. 

Little Roots Academy is a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool in Novato serving children ages 18 months through TK. Our program is bilingual, year round, and includes regular excursions into the forest and community. Our curriculum is student driven and centered around nature, art, and open ended play. Our goal is to cultivate confidence, compassion, and curiosity in the kids we are privileged to serve. We do this through a well rounded curriculum in which children garden, make music and art, do yoga, cook, and play every day.

The bulk of our day is spent in our outdoor classroom, which includes extensive gardens, sand and water area, mud kitchen, play structures, STEM building area, and creek access. Indoors, children have access to an art studio, play room, and dedicated nap room. Our full day program includes home cooked, nutritious, and seasonal food for two snacks and lunch. Our home environment and maximum 1:5 ratio guarantees that each child has the individualized and loving attention they deserve.

We are currently accepting children ages 2-3 years, with a TK program beginning fall 2024.
