The Tiny Roots Classroom
The learning space at Tiny Roots offers a peaceful rhythm of child-led exploration and gentle guidance. Children are encouraged to engage with activities that match their interests and developmental readiness, while the teacher provides individualized support through one-on-one lessons, group stories, and seasonal circle time.
The environment is intentionally calm, cozy, and free of overstimulation—filled with natural light, inviting materials, and warm, thoughtfully curated learning corners that spark curiosity and hands-on discovery.
This nurturing home-based space supports meaningful growth at each child’s pace. A gentle class bunny provides daily comfort and connection, helping foster empathy, gentleness, and responsibility. Just outside, the learning continues with a vibrant garden, sand and water play, and plenty of open-ended nature-based activities that encourage movement and imagination.
A steady daily and seasonal rhythm provides emotional grounding and supports healthy routines. The teacher serves as a guide—introducing purposeful materials and experiences that nourish the heart (emotional), hands (practical), and head (intellectual) to support whole-child development.
At Tiny Roots, every child is seen, heard, and truly valued.

Learning Areas
Practical Life
Sensorial Exploration
At Tiny Roots, children build confidence and coordination through purposeful, hands-on activities like pouring, sweeping, polishing, gardening, buttoning, and tying. These everyday tasks encourage focus, independence, and care for their environment.
We also gently practice grace and courtesy, fostering kindness, patience, and respectful social interaction—all in a warm, home-based setting that values both skill-building and emotional growth.
Sensorial Exploration
Sensorial Exploration
At Tiny Roots, children refine their senses and begin to understand their world by exploring color, texture, size, shape, and sound through thoughtfully chosen materials.
Using tools inspired by Montessori—like sound jars, textured letters, and sorting rods—children engage in hands-on activities that gently support emerging skills in math, language, geography, and art, all while nurturing focus and sensory awareness through play and discovery.
Language Development
Language Development
At Tiny Roots, language comes to life through multi-sensory exploration—from rich storytelling and oral language games to sandpaper letters and the moveable alphabet.
Children naturally build vocabulary, develop phonemic awareness, and explore early writing, reading, and grammar—all in a joyful, play-based environment that honors each child’s pace and readiness.
Mathematics
Language Development
At Tiny Roots, early math concepts come to life through hands-on, sensory-rich exploration. Children build number sense, recognize patterns, compare quantities, and explore shapes using real-world materials and playful activities.
They naturally begin to count, sort, measure, and identify geometric forms through guided discovery and open-ended play. These experiences nurture problem-solving, logical thinking, and confidence—laying a strong foundation for future learning in a joyful, pressure-free environment.
Art & Music
Creative expression is a natural part of every day at Tiny Roots.
Children explore painting, clay, collage, music, rhythm, and movement in a playful, open-ended way. These experiences support fine and gross motor development, boost memory and confidence, and offer healthy emotional outlets through art and self-expression.
Whether it’s dancing to seasonal songs or creating with natural materials, creativity is always encouraged and celebrated.
Large Motor Play
Movement and outdoor time are essential to the rhythm at Tiny Roots.
Children enjoy active outdoor play twice a day, along with gentle stretching, yoga, and dance woven into our daily flow. These moments support physical development, balance, and body awareness, while also offering space for joy, self-expression, and connection to nature.
Science Exploration
At Tiny Roots, science is all about curiosity and hands-on discovery. Inspired by the wonder and adventure of The Magic School Bus, we dive into playful explorations of topics like the solar system, weather, plant life, and the human body.
Each theme comes to life through sensory experiences, simple experiments, nature walks, and creative art projects—designed to spark questions, imagination, and joyful learning in a way that’s developmentally appropriate for young minds.
Geography & Culture
At Tiny Roots, children “travel the world” through vibrant storytelling and hands-on cultural exploration. Using beautifully illustrated picture books, music, food-inspired sensory play, and simple crafts, we learn about landforms, animals, traditions, and geography from around the globe.
Each imaginary journey is celebrated with a special passport stamp, helping little explorers build global awareness, empathy, and a sense of connection to the wider world—all in a fun and age-appropriate way.
Outdoor Exploration
Outdoor Exploration
Nature connection is a core part of the Tiny Roots experience.
Children spend time in our garden, where they observe and care for plants through the seasons—gaining a hands-on understanding of weather, insects, growth, and change in real time.
Sand and water play offer rich sensory experiences, while daily outdoor time encourages movement, coordination, and a deep appreciation for the rhythms of the natural world.
Our outdoor learning space isn’t just play—it's a living classroom that nurtures wonder, responsibility, and curiosity.
