Megan Haynes, Lead Teacher & Owner

For the past 12 years I have had the honor to work with and alongside children. I have a M.A. in Teaching from the University of San Francisco with a focus on project-based learning and nature education. I've taught in urban San Francisco schools and local elementary schools in Fort Collins.  

At Roots & Wings, I'm the lead teacher and I believe in my heart that children learn best by doing, exploring, helping one another, collaborating, and playing. I also believe in the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood by creating inquiries for children to ask questions, test theories, make plans, and think deeply. I hope to create an environment of magic and wonder for the kids! 

Lastly, I have two little kids of my own who have served to be my most powerful teachers yet.
