About Us

Our Story

At Roots of Resilience, we believe that support for you and your little one should be simple, accessible, and effective. Our founder, Jenna, drawing on her extensive experience in developmental and behavioral services, recognized a significant gap: parents often felt overwhelmed, while early childhood professionals struggled to find practical strategies to support social-emotional development in their classrooms and programs. In response, Jenna created Roots of Resilience - an essential platform that provides parents and professionals with the knowledge and tools to understand and apply developmental and relational health in the early years. We bring necessary information to you when you need it the most.
