Nature-Based, Creative, Secular Home Education

Our approach to parenting and homeschooling is largely inspired by our love of nature, literature, and the arts. Charlotte Mason’s teachings and the Waldorf philosophy had a huge impact me as a mom, and a former kindergarten teacher, and I wanted to give my daughters the best possible start I could, filled with delight, wonder, and play.

Inspired by Charlotte Mason and Waldorf Philosophies

At Blossom and Root, our resources are Charlotte Mason and Waldorf-inspired. While we do not follow a purist approach to either philosophy, their influences are threaded throughout our curricula (in a fully secular way.) For this reason, it is helpful and important to familiarize yourself with both before determining whether or not our resources will be a good fit for you and your family.

We highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Charlotte Mason approach to language arts, especially the practices of narration, copywork, and dictation, as these are the foundational practices for Blossom and Root in Levels 0 and up. These practices look quite different from the language arts approach you’ll find in most schools today. If you feel your child needs more support with writing, grammar, and spelling, you can always supplement our curricula with other resources.

Our mission

At Blossom and Root, we believe that curriculum is meant to support and encourage both parent and child in their educational journey. We are committed to creating high-quality, creative, secular homeschool curriculum and resources that empower the parent educator and inspire the young learner. 

Our story

I’m Kristina, and I’m the mama of Blake and Brice. I started Blossom & Root in 2015 to share our home education journey with other nature-based homeschooling families. Soon after I started blogging, I began developing our secular, hands-on, creative, and adaptable curriculum.

We now offer preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, first through sixth grades, U.S. history, and Book Seeds (STEM-centered, nature-based mini-unit studies.) We are currently developing sixth grade, which will be available in late 2024.

As a former kindergarten teacher, elementary tutor, arts programming director and educator, ECE teacher, and ECE assistant director, I am passionate about providing secular homeschooling materials that honor creativity, make space for curiosity, and center nature around us and within us.

FAQ: Additional Details about Blossom & Root Mega-Bundle: Early Years Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and Kindergarten

A sample lesson from the Blossom & Root Early Years bundle might begin with a nature walk where your child collects leaves or observes bugs, followed by a short read-aloud tied to the week’s theme—like seasons, animals, or weather. Back at home, they might explore a simple kitchen science activity, such as mixing baking soda and vinegar to see bubbles form, then transition to a hands-on art project like leaf rubbings or painting to music. The day could wrap up with a few minutes of journaling (drawing or dictating) and listening to a composer of the week. Each activity is brief, open-ended, and designed to spark joy, movement, and connection with the natural world.

The Blossom & Root Early Years Mega-Bundle works by guiding parents through a 36-week open-and-go plan for each level (Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Kindergarten), using short, daily activities designed to spark curiosity and nurture development through nature, art, and play. Each week includes a nature study prompt (like observing weather or insects), a picture or composer study with discussion questions, a kitchen science or early math activity using everyday materials, and an open-ended art project. Parents read aloud from suggested books (library-friendly lists provided) and invite their child to respond through journaling, storytelling, or creative play. There’s no formal academic pressure—just gentle exposure to foundational skills in a developmentally appropriate, sensory-rich, and relationship-centered way. All content is delivered as downloadable PDFs, with flexible pacing and minimal prep required.

  • Parents who need a secular curriculum for their child
  • Parents who want their child’s year to be filled with exposure to the arts, nature, science, and quality children’s literature
  • Parents who need a curriculum that gently introduces early academic foundations in a developmentally appropriate way and moves at their child’s own unique pace
  • Busy parents who need a program with minimal prep time each week (about half an hour)
  • Parents on a budget that cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a boxed curriculum package
  • Parents who want their child’s homeschooling experience to be beautiful, rich, and full of delight
  • Parents with hands-on learners
  • Parents who need a curriculum that includes Bible study or a religious perspective
  • Parents who want a curriculum that their child can do completely independently (Our curriculum requires 1.5 - 2 hours a day, 4 to 5 days a week, of focused time together)
  • Parents who prefer workbooks to hands-on activities
  • Parents who want an online school experience for their child
  • Parents who need an academic program for their child that mirrors what is being taught in brick-and-mortar schools
  • Parents who need every supply, book, and material for their year included in their purchase (Our curriculum is designed to use a few basic art supplies, typical household items, and many books that can be found at a library or for purchase used)

A typical week in our curriculum will require around 30 to 45 minutes to prepare for. We suggest looking at the book and supply lists in the parent guide as soon as possible and collecting your materials before the school year begins. Books can be ordered online, found in used bookstores, or borrowed from the library.

Your child should be familiar with blending simple CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words together, such as "cat" and "mat." We do spend some time on reviewing these, but a familiarity with them with help when beginning this curriculum.

Parent or caregiver involvement in the Blossom & Root Early Years Mega-Bundle is central and hands-on, but relaxed and joyful. You’ll guide nature walks, read aloud from picture books, help set up simple art or kitchen science activities, and engage your child in open-ended conversations and journaling. The curriculum is not designed for independent learning at this age—it’s about building connection through shared experiences. Activities are short and flexible, making it easy to follow your child’s energy and curiosity. Rather than formal instruction, your role is to nurture wonder, provide gentle guidance, and create a calm, supportive environment for early learning.
