ChildRoots is proud to announce: The Annex.

The Annex is dedicated to providing superior childcare, in an in-home setting, to children ages 2months – 3years.

The ChildRoots Annex will follow the principles of ChildRoots Way. Embracing elements of RIE and Attachment Parenting, our teachers are dedicated to creating strong, consistent and healthy bonds with the children in their care.

The Annex will also follow many of our current eco-mitments including the use of cloth diapers, reusable hand towels and maintaining a bleach and aerosol free environment.

Located in NE just a few blocks from the McMenamin’s Kennedy School, this remodeled home has a large fenced yard with ample space to explore and garden.

Slated to open June 2010, we look forward to welcoming infants ages 2-8months into the inaugural ChildRoots Annex cohort!
