<div>Dear beautiful supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, we started the beautiful initiative Wild Roots with nothing but our heartfelt willingness to make this dream come alive. And now we have grown to 10 children.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your help we created a safe and nurturing space where children can truly arrive, parents can grow together as a community, and everyone involved can flourish in their own way. It has been and is quite a ride with a lot of learnings. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way ♡.
</div>

</div>
<div>Now, as we step into our second year, the mission continues. Our sense of togetherness is stronger than ever, and we are taking the next step: growing with a second full-time facilitator so that we can welcome more children, opening a <em>Wild Sprouts</em> space for the younger ones, create greater stability, further develop a program and continue rooting this vision in the world.

<div><strong>Who we are</strong>
</div>
<div>Wild Roots is a parent-led initiative re-imagiging and -shaping the way children learn and grow. It’s a project- &amp; interest-based project that celebrates each individual. We’re shifting from a curriculum-based, “one-size-fits-all” education to an approach in which learning feels alive and fun. We aim to support the childs well-being and want develop the intrinsic talents of every child - and that shift is truly pioneering. For this, we still depend on your support.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where we are now</strong>
</div>
<div>With your support, a second facilitator will make it possible to:
</div>
<div>1. Welcome more children (growing gradually towards 15 children in spring 2026 and 20 children until the summer of 2026).
</div>
<div>2. Provide more stability and continuity.
</div>
<div>3. Grow more of our vision into practice (new curriculum building)
</div>
<div>4. Lay the foundation for our bigger mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our mission: Innovating Education</strong>
</div>
<div>At Wild Roots we believe that every child is born a genius. Where conventional systems try to mold children to fit into a box, we focus on nurturing their innate potential so they can unfold naturally and share their unique gifts with the world. Ultimately this is about a more authentic way of living.
