A few words from Leanne:

“As a young child I always knew I wanted to become a teacher and was driven to teach in a way that reaches all students in my classroom with as much hands-on exploration as possible.  This was the driving force behind developing my preschool curriculum and is one of the many reasons I am inspired to teach at Roots.”

“As a parent and educator, it is very important to me that all students are met at their individual levels and taught through a variety of methods that are the just-right challenge for each individual child. 

“I am grateful for the Roots Community School for providing such an environment where no child is waiting for others to catch up and no child is struggling to keep up. I also believe that the Arts are a very important part of education that cannot be left out.”
