Our Story | Homegrown

A happy family of five standing on a grassy field outdoors, wearing flower crowns, with a green background of trees and a white fence. The parents are smiling, and the children, barefoot or in sandals, are playing.

Root and Rise began long before it had a name. Like many parents, we found ourselves navigating a season of constant change. After welcoming three children back-to-back, we realized finding reliable childcare wasn’t the only kind of support families need to thrive.

Because the need for connection doesn’t end with childhood.

Bienvenido a la comunidad. Estamos aquí para ayudarte en español o inglés

As a bilingual family, we value health, relationships, culture, and the importance of showing up for one another. Those values guide our home and now guide the community we’re building.

When the opportunity to make our home on Sperry Road came along, it felt like more than a move. We had the chance to create the kind of place we had been searching for ourselves.

A house with a porch and window air conditioning unit, undergoing renovations with green and peeling paint siding, scaffolding in front, and a rocks foundation.

Now that the hard parts over

we can’t wait to share it with you!
