Wonder Roots
Our mission at Wonder Roots is to support the growth and development of children as a pathway to healthier communities. Through community action & collaboration, we can reverse the rising statistics of attention, behavior and learning challenges in our students, and decrease rates of depression and chronic stress in both children and adults.
Curiosity, Creativity & Community are the core of our work.
We believe that by empowering children through creative, child-driven, WHOLE-BODY learning environments, schools and communities have the power to create a wave of positive change with lasting effects.

Located on the hills & valleys of the Lake Champlain Basin, our Wonder Roots program sites in Hinesburg & South Burlington offer diverse ecosystems with endless opportunities for discovery & exploration.
Our woods are full of northern pines, hemlocks, sugar maples and more with key features including: a shallow seasonal stream & grassy yard with our resident flock of ducks & chickens (Hinesburg), and fern patches, walking trails & climbing stumps (South Burlington).
