Our Story
In the Spring of 2011, we moved our family to Vermont with a goal of starting a sustainable business that would grow out of a union of our professional training and personal interests and make an important contribution to our community. Two years later, we acquired First Roots - Wild Roots (previously Annette's Preschool) in Hinesburg and began a journey to bring our vision of becoming the first-choice early care and education program in Chittenden county to life, despite the inquires from our then teenage children as to when our "hippie experiment would be over!" We have worked together as a couple for over 25 years on various community events, utilizing Andrew's financial training and commercial business experience along with Andrea's expertise in child development and community organizing. We are honored to have developed strong home-school relationships with each of our First Roots - Wild Roots and Treehouse families and to be able to see their children grow to become engaged, informed and compassionate future citizens of Vermont!
Yours,
Andrea & Andrew
