Roots Primary School was founded in 2020 by staff at The Refuge. What began as an Early Learning Center (Pre-3 and Pre-K) is expanding to support a full Kindergarten class in 2024, with 1st-4th grades being added in Fall 2025. With small class sizes, Christ-centered curriculum, and experienced educators, RPS is passionate about serving children!

In this class, we begin teaching beginning letter concepts and sounds. We begin introducing skills necessary to becoming a successful student in a classroom.

Kindergarten Readiness: Age 4 before September 1st.

The Kindergarten Readiness program at RPS is designed to prepare our early learners for a classroom experience. This class focuses on what it looks like to be a student, how we manage big emotions, caring for ourselves and others, rules and routines in a classroom, and lastly, fun! Students in this class are scaffolding on their previous knowledge of letter concepts and sounds, and building into increased phonemic and phonetic awareness, beginning math concepts, increased problem solving skills, and all around student conduct. Students graduating from the Kindergarten Readiness at RPS will be well prepared to enter a Kindergarten classroom.
