Welcome to Muddy Roots!
Rooted in Nature.
Growing Through Play.
A nature-based homeschool enrichment program where childhood is spent exploring, creating, taking healthy risks, and discovering the wonder of the natural world.
Muddy Roots Forest School is nestled on our family farm in Thompson Station, Tennessee. Here, children spend their days outdoors exploring the natural world, engaging in child-led play, taking healthy risks, and discovering the joy of learning through real-life experiences. We believe childhood should be filled with muddy boots, curious questions, meaningful connections, and the freedom to grow at nature’s pace.
AGES: Kindergarten - 9yo
DAYS: Monday – Thursday
HOURS: 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Flexible Enrollment: Campers can enroll in any combination of days

Please Note:
Enrollment in our school-year program is by invitation only. We want to ensure that Muddy Roots is the right fit for your child and family. To begin the process, we ask that you first schedule a phone call or tour with us. Once that’s complete, we’ll send you a direct link to enroll.
