Welcome to Wild Roots Holistic Learning Center
Wild Roots Holistic Learning Center is a Montessori and Reggio Emilia Preschool and Kindergarten. We are based in Temecula, CA, and Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.
How We Grow
NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS
We find that holistic environments, like those of our indoor/outdoor classrooms stimulate curiosity and create meaningful connections to nature. This leads to thoughtful interactions.
COMMUNITY FAVORITES
We believe in consistency from school to home. So we provide parent education, volunteer opportunities and family events. We sometimes invite family and community members to visit classrooms and share their culture, special talent, or interesting profession.
COLLABORATION
We encourage group interactions and projects. This allows children to find meaningful ways to contribute and grow their identity as a part of a community. Therefore they learn to validate and value one another’s ideas and efforts.
INDEPENDENCE
We foster each child’s unique desire to learn and value their independence. We believe it is the role of the teacher to assist the child in the process of self-discovery and personal growth.
Love Letters!
My girls love waking up each morning and going to school. They are learning and developing into independent, confident and kind little girls. I attribute a lot of that to the teaching approaches used at Wild Roots. They foster the interests of the children by following their lead.

Love Letters!
I couldn’t be happier with this school. We’ve been there for 2 years now, and I wish they could just stay forever. I’m so grateful to live in the area so my kids can go to school here, I consider it a major blessing. For us, the best part is that it is holistic, nurturing, safe, and supportive.
