Stephanie Gameros, Oakland
"We are so thankful for Keiki and Macaulay's teaching, leadership and nurturing of our child this past year and a half! He is able to feel free in nature twice a week with these two caring, talented and wise teachers looking after him. He is free to climb trees, play games, sing songs, create art, encounter creatures and plants, learn about them, and care for and love Mamma Gaia'. I'm especially grateful that with their loving support, he is learning about conflict resolution with his friends Ian the forest. I highly recommend Wise Roots Collective to others who desire their child to cultivate resilience, have fun, grow in interpersonal skills and deepen their reverence for the beauty and bounty of Mother Earth!"

"My daughter has blossomed in such a beautiful way since being a part of this community. Her love of nature and the ways that she is able to connect to it inspire me and our entire family. I feel total trust in her teachers and am so grateful for her love and care of all of the kids. She is creative fun and so patient. The small group size is ideal for building intimacy and community amongst the kids. Thank you for being here for my daughter and for being a shame away from home for us!"

Macaulay and Keiki are absolute gems. Their presence with the kids is deep and connected, and their ability to incorporate teaching and lessons into play is seamless. My son loves them, and they've basically raised him for the past few years. The program itself is fantastic as it's all outside in the forest; my son gets to run around, breath fresh air, and have so much freedom to play and create."
