Our

promise to families.

“We recognize who children are and what they can be – and how far our current education system is from enabling them. We empower children to be independent, self-propelled life-long learners, supporting them in discovering their strengths, their gifts and passions, and using them in service to others; we enable them to discover wonder in nature, a connection which motivates them to steward their earth.”

– Kristin Marples Cassie, Roots & Wings Founder and Principal

Testimonials
Sadra S
"My daughter has gone to Roots & Wings for two years now and I couldn’t be happier for her to go into her third year. Her teachers are so kind and nurturing and their love of children and the Montessori philosophy is evident. I love that they have guided my daughter to become independent, outspoken, and empathetic. They have timely parent-teacher meetings to discuss the children’s progress and I am always so impressed by the detailed notes and observations they have about my daughter’s progress. I can’t say enough great things about this school and will be sending my second daughter here too!"

"I learned about Roots and Wings Heritage House through my cousin who had nothing but great things to say about the school. My 2 nephews went there, now my 2 kids attend R&W. The community and teachers are wonderful, warm and loving. My daughter has learned and grown so much from their preschool program. This is a great place for children."

"I've had 2 children at R&W for a year now and I have no complaints. My older daughter goes to their "Forest School" in Langley and spends a lot of time outdoors (which she loves). My other girl is in Kindergarten and really enjoying it. The teachers are always very responsive to my concerns."

"My older son went to the Surrey centre location and I always found the staff to be courteous, responsible and available to discuss any concerns. Three years later, my younger son is going to the Heritage home location and I'm very pleased with the amazing work the teachers are doing there."
Vero B
"My son attended R&W from age 3 to 15. He received the best education parents could wish for. All the academics and much more: love, care, outdoors, social skills, discipline, enthusiasm for learning. It's such a relief to know that he is well equipped to be a successful and happy adult!"
