| Part III response or note to any other line in Part III | Line 1: Through nature-based early childhood education, Roots Forest School fosters curiosity, community, and imagination to inspire stewardship and empower life-long learners. Roots Forest School provides classes for children aged 18 months - 5 years in an outdoor setting. Line 4a: Roots Forest School was Idahos first nature-based preschool. We were founded in 2015 with 16 families and have grown each year. This year, we celebrated our tenth school year in operation. For the 2024-2025 school year we had 48 children enrolled in our drop-off preschool classes that meet 2-3 times a week from September through May. Additionally we had 25 children and their caregivers enrolled in our parent toddler class that meets once a week from September through May. We provided $23,088 in scholarship funds to families enrolled at Roots during the 2024-2025 school year. We generate scholarship funding from private donations, grants and school fundraisers. Each December, we host a community event, Trek to the North Pole, with around 300 children and adults attending to participate in a forest scavenger hunt through the snow to find Santa Claus at the North Pole. This event is typically funded by funds granted from the Local Option Tax Commission. Roots also attends and hosts activities at local outreach events around McCall such as the Arbor Day celebration, Kaleidoscope Arts Festival and the Idaho Gives Community Fair. |
