At Roots and Wings, it is important that our youngest children experience the joy and mystery that the world has to offer.  Whether it is watching their seeds grow in the garden, meeting a baby goat for the first time, the pride of reading their first book, knowing how to say good morning in English and Spanish or the surprise of a new color when mixing red with yellow--every day should be an adventure in learning.
