Time for OCEAN SCHOOL! 🌊
This week, Take Root Forest School kids are trading trees for tides to explore South Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Same groups, same schedules — with a few wild twists: ranger talks, guest speakers, and stewardship projects. (Beach clean-ups, anyone?) 🚮
Learning with our head, heart & hands — now by the sea.
🌿 👉🏼 🌊
Beach week is in session.
💗However mothering looks in your family - mamas, grandmas, aunties, sisters, bonus moms, foster moms, dads who mother, and every person helping a child take root - thank you for the love that grows little humans.
Happy Mother’s Day 🌿
From our Take Root village to yours. 🫶🏼

🌳There’s a forest by the sea, tucked away from the bustle of the city.
At our Fort Lauderdale location, 35 acres hold 5 wild worlds: Atlantic beach. The dunes. Freshwater slough. Maritime forest. Mangrove wetlands.
This is Natural Florida.
And it’s where little lives come to take root.
Now enrolling for Fall 2026.
If you’re a Fort Lauderdale (or surrounding area) family looking for a school that’s wilder, slower, and rooted in wonder - come wander with us.

We’re a precious oasis tucked away from the bustle.
And we’re almost full.
No walls. No proper desks. Just acres to run, climb, and become. As they say, kids can’t bounce off walls that don’t exist! Your child’s classroom could look like this… 🤩
Schedule a tour and come see the difference. ☺️
