Join Our Team and Help Us Reimagine Education

At Wild Roots Nature Based Learning, we’re creating something extraordinary: an intentionally inclusive, equity-driven, Montessori-inspired, and nature-rich school and community in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

We’re seeking passionate, reflective, heart-centered educators and leaders to join us as we grow — people who believe in the power of nature, community, and liberation in learning.

About Wild Roots

Wild Roots is where Montessori philosophy meets outdoor exploration and community transformation.

We pair liberatory education with nature-based learning to create spaces where every child — especially those often underserved or misunderstood — can flourish.

Our programs intentionally serve neurodivergent, Black and Brown, and LGBTQIA+ children and families.

Why Join Our Team?

Wild Roots is a co-creative movement toward a more humane, joyful, and inclusive model of education.

When you join our team, you:

  • Co-create meaningful, nature-rich learning experiences that center belonging, curiosity, and liberation.
  • Collaborate with a mission-driven community that values reflection, balance, and collective care.
  • Help shape the foundation of a growing, nature-rich learning community rooted in equity, curiosity, and connection.

Our Commitment to You

We believe caring for children begins with caring for the adults who guide them.

At Wild Roots, we commit to:

  • Annual raises to honor growth, commitment, and continued contribution.
  • Sustainable work practices that honor balance between professional responsibilities, mental health, family, and personal interests.
  • Flexible work schedule designed to support well-being and creativity, while ensuring meaningful community impact.
  • Professional growth opportunities.
  • A mission-driven, collaborative environment.
