Three philosophies.
One coherent school.
Most schools pick one approach. We built a school that uses the best of Montessori, EYFS, and TEKS together — because no single framework has all the answers. The result is a school that's academically strong and deeply human.
Montessori with purpose
Child-led discovery rooted in a prepared environment — not free play, but intentional independence built on proven method.
Kindergarten readiness built in
EYFS and TEKS frameworks ensure every child meets age-appropriate milestones and enters kindergarten genuinely prepared.
Parents stay connected
Regular updates, open-door policy, and genuine partnership — you know exactly how your child is growing, always.
Daily School Life
Life at Roots
Every day at Roots is structured but warm — children move between focused work, outdoor exploration, creative play, and community time.
Our Curriculum
Three frameworks, one coherent approach
We draw from the world's strongest early childhood frameworks to give every child a complete foundation — not just academic readiness, but curiosity, confidence, and character.

Montessori
Self-directed learning within a prepared environment
Children choose their own work, move freely, and develop intrinsic motivation. Hands-on materials make abstract concepts concrete.
2
EYFS
Early Years Foundation Stage — UK's gold standard
Structured developmental milestones from birth to age 5. Ensures every child reaches key learning goals in communication, physical development, and personal growth.
3
TEKS
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
State-aligned academic standards ensure our children enter kindergarten and elementary school academically prepared and assessed to local benchmarks.
Our Values
What we stand for
The principles that shape every room, every interaction, and every decision at Roots Prep School.
Respect for the child
Every child is a capable, curious person — not a vessel to be filled. We listen, observe, and follow their lead.
Community and belonging
Roots is a diverse, welcoming community. Every family is a partner, and every child belongs from day one.
Continuity and consistency
Familiar teachers, predictable routines, and a single school philosophy from infancy through 5th grade.
