Inspired by Canadian education, with English, STEAM learning and emotional support. At ROOTS, every child grows at their own pace, with curiosity and confidence.
“When roots are strong, the future has no limits.”
Our educational approach · The ROOTS Way
Four pillars. A world of possibilities.
Learning, understanding feelings, connecting with others and growing in independence. Four dimensions woven into everyday experiences, with our characters alongside us.
Timmy and Chip
Pillar 01 / The ROOTS Way
Learning and STEAM
Curiosity opens doors.
Observe, ask questions, build and try again. Through play, children connect language, maths, English, science and creativity.
Everyday moments at ROOTS
While building a wooden bridge, a question emerges: what could we change to make it stronger?
What skills do we nurture?
Explore materials and compare their properties.
Design, test and improve a structure.
Talk about what we discover.

Pillar 02 / The ROOTS Way
Emotional intelligence
Feeling safe to be yourself.
We help children recognise their feelings, put them into words and find calm. Empathy begins with being heard.
Everyday moments at ROOTS
In the calm corner, Jasper encourages children to name a feeling and take a breath before returning to play.
What skills do we nurture?
Name feelings without judging them.
Ask for help and listen to others.
Learn to manage emotions with caring support.

Values
Everyone belongs.
Kindness, respect, responsibility and inclusion come to life in small gestures: sharing, taking turns, caring and inviting others to join in.

Creating something together gives children a chance to share materials, listen to ideas and make room for a friend.

Share and take turns.
Value different ideas and ways of being.
