At Rooted & Rising, we believe learning isn’t just about books — it’s about connection, creativity, and community. Children need both roots and wings to thrive — and we’re here to nurture both.
Where Children Grow and Families Rise.

At Rooted & Rising, our mission is to cultivate deep roots of knowledge and character in children. We aim to create a thriving community where families can rise together through learning and connection.
What if science felt like play, friendships formed naturally, and learning happened with hands and hearts engaged? 🌱 Our 10-week Geology class invites children to explore rocks, art, sound, and the natural world through hands-on experiments, creative projects, music, and meaningful collaboration. This is playful, high-quality learning designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and connection — all while having a whole lot of fun together.
When: 10-weeks, starting February 5th, 2026. Class is from 10am - 1pm each Thursday.
Where: Play Jungle, off Alta Drive and I-295 in Jacksonville, FL
Who: Elementary-aged children (generally ages 5-10)
Why: Click here for all the fun details!
Enrollment includes a 10 week membership with unlimited play at Play Jungle for enrolled children, intentionally designed to foster deep friendships, meaningful connection, and lasting community alongside our classroom experience (membership valued at $267).

Rooted & Rising is a Step Up for Students Direct Provider.
Please reach us at Admin@RARhomeschool.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We currently serve children ages 5 to 10, generally Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Yes. Rooted & Rising is not a drop-off program. A parent or guardian must remain onsite at all times. You’re welcome to spend that time in fellowship with other parents or enjoy a quiet activity like reading, knitting, or relaxing. Your level of involvement will be very minimal.
Rooted & Rising holds and hosts different classes, so it will be class-dependent. The exact number may vary, but will always be thoughtfully structured to support connection, engagement, and individualized attention.
All children will benefit from hands-on lessons, creative projects, and the care of dedicated teachers working together to create a joyful learning environment.
Yes! If you have children under the age of 5, you’re welcome to bring them along, but will have to pay entry into Play Jungle (we have a reduced rate for current RAR parents.)
Not directly. We are a neutral resource rooted in Christian values. Meaning we do not discuss religion within our class, but most classes are taught by Christians.
We are a Step Up for Students Direct Provider with UA and PEP scholarships.
We take a gentle, respectful approach to discipline. Children are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions and to treat others with kindness. If a child needs extra support, a parent may be asked to remain with them during class time.
This is your community! We welcome helping hands, ideas, and encouraging hearts. From classroom support to helping with art prep or setup, there are plenty of ways to bless the group with your presence and talents.
Unfortunately, no. As soon as you register, we order supplies for your child and pay Play Jungle for your membership, so no refunds will be provided.

. We are just waiting for approval from SUFS. Once this is finalized, registration will open.

Meet Tiffany Robins
Hi! I’m Tiffany — homeschool mom, community builder, and founder of Jax Teach. I have an MBA from West Virginia University and have worked in education-focused roles for organizations like Mayo Clinic, but my biggest passion is helping families find meaningful learning, lasting friendships, and joy in their homeschool journey.
Rooted & Rising was born from a desire to create something beautiful for our children — a space where play, creativity, and connection are just as important as academics. I love quiet moments, quality time with my kids, and seeing families flourish together. I'm so glad you're here.
We will have several Open House opportunities soon. Details forthcoming.
