IT'S OFFICIAL — WE ARE LICENSED! 🌱🎉
We are beyond excited to announce that Roots Learning Center 21 Sierra Vista Blvd, Easthampton is officially licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care!
❤️
And now we can finally say...
🎉 WE OFFICIALLY OPEN ON AUGUST 31!
What a journey this has been.
Getting this building ready and licensed in time has been absolutely CRAZY. There were so many moving pieces, unexpected challenges, long days, and moments when honestly, no one thought we would get it all done in time.
But somehow... WE DID IT! ❤️
We want to take a moment to thank the incredible people who helped make this happen.
A very special thank you to our EEC Licensor, who has been absolutely amazing to work with. Her guidance, patience, communication, and support throughout this entire process have meant more than she knows.
We are also so grateful to the Easthampton Building Inspector, who went above and beyond by working on his day off to help us get everything across the finish line. And thank you to the Easthampton Fire Department for working
with us and helping us complete our fire certification.
And Sage — THANK YOU. The building is beautiful, but what you did to get us ready for licensing was truly incredible. With only days to pull everything together, you somehow made it happen. There was a point when no one
thought we would be ready in time, and you pulled it all together. We cannot thank you enough for the incredible work, dedication, and effort you put into making this building what it is.
We are sharing a little video we made the day before licensing — and honestly, it is amazing to look back at it now. So much of what you see in that video came together in an incredibly short amount of time after it was
filmed. The transformation happened so quickly!
We cannot wait to share all of the amazing photos of the completed building with you later this week. We are so proud of how it all came together, and we think you are going to love seeing the finished space!
And then there is our incredible Roots staff.
❤️
When we had to leave our preschool building and temporarily relocate, our staff jumped in, adapted, rearranged, packed, unpacked, moved classrooms, and continued to give our children the same love and care they always do.
It wasn't easy. But they handled it with teamwork, flexibility, and so much heart.
You made it work. And we are so incredibly grateful for you.
And to our Roots families — THANK YOU for your patience, understanding, and support throughout this process. We know there has been a lot of change, and we know it hasn't always been easy.
Today, we can finally celebrate. ❤️
✨ The building is beautiful.
✨ The license is official.
✨ And our doors officially open August
31!
We cannot wait to welcome our children and families into this incredible new space and begin this next chapter of Roots Learning Center Easthampton.
🌱❤️
WE DID IT! 🎉
