Rooted in care. Growing toward independence.
Roots to Wings Early Learning Center is a small, licensed center in Midland, Michigan, where children from infancy through age six are nurtured by people who genuinely love what they do.
Nurturing young minds, one day at a time
We believe every child deserves a start that is safe, joyful, and full of possibility. Our name says it best: we help children put down strong roots (security, confidence, and curiosity) so they can one day spread their wings.
We do that through warm relationships, thoughtful routines, and play-based learning tailored to each stage of early childhood.
How we care and teach
Relationships first
Children learn best when they feel safe and known. Consistent, caring teachers are the foundation of everything we do.
Learning through play
Play is how young children make sense of the world. We design hands-on, age-appropriate experiences that build real skills.
Whole-child growth
We nurture social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development together, not just academics.
Partnership with families
You are your child's first teacher. We keep communication open so home and center work as one team.
A licensed, carefully run center
Roots to Wings is licensed by the State of Michigan, license number DC560408504. Licensing means we meet the state's standards for health, safety, supervision, and care.
We keep our environment clean and secure, with a licensed capacity of 60 children across four rooms and age-appropriate ratios so each child receives close, individual attention in small groups.
