Homeschool & School Sessions

Taking Root serves local schools and homeschool families through nature-based, trauma-informed learning experiences that support the whole child—mind, body, and nervous system.

We offer homeschool group sessions rooted in Nature & Nurture, including:

  • Movement & Yoga Series

  • Nature & Mindfulness Series

All programs provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for hands-on learning, mindfulness practices, and meaningful time immersed in nature. Students engage in breathing exercises, meditation, social-emotional skill building, yoga, and guided nature walks receiving the restorative benefits that the natural world has to offer.

Participants gain practical tools to support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and connection to themselves and others.

These offerings are especially supportive for students who may experience anxiety, depression, high stress levels, hyperactivity, a history of trauma, or who are seeking deeper connection and confidence. Mindfulness practices play a vital role in social-emotional wellbeing and academic success.

Homeschool/Public Schools we have worked with:

  • Southern NH Homeschool Explorers

  • Robert J. Lister Academy

  • Portsmouth Middle School

Program Options:

  • Weekly and monthly sessions available

  • Pricing based on number of students and number of sessions

Student testimonials

  • UNH and 4H Health and Wellness Extension Grades 5-8

    “Kaitlin is incredibly collaborative and mindful in her programming. She’s consistent and is always willing to support a community need, whether it’s sharing her passion for nature-based mindfulness or her experience working with youth, she steps in with compassion and confidence. I look forward to partnering with her again on our upcoming Mindful Movement and Hike at SELT’s Burley Farms in Epping, NH!”

  • Parents of student sessions

    “My children have spent a lot of time in nature, yet it was so special to do so in a group with other kids and add mindfulness to the mix. Kaitlin held the group well and was a model of kindness and mindfulness herself .”

    “Pleased with the small group size, and the calm vibe that allowed them to slow down and focus”.

    I was so glad to hear they participated in slow breathing and I hope they continue to grow that skill”.

  • Seacoast science center grades 6-8

    “We partnered with Kaitlin from Taking Root Education this summer during our Eco-Adventure week with the SSC Stewards (grades 6-8). It was a great fit for our day at Wallis Sands in Rye. She led the students in an activity to get everyone to understand the meaning of and importance of being mindful”.

    “Kaitlin's experience with middle school aged students really stood out as she led them through the exercises. The campers really enjoyed the time she spent with us. It was a great day and we will be partnering with Taking Root in the future!”
