The Rooted Action Method™
iNATURE’s Core Philosophy
A proprietary, nature-based framework that transforms everyday moments into meaningful growth experiences. The Rooted Action Method™ is iNATURE’s original approach to
Whole-child development
Integrating emotional intelligence
Creativity
Communication
Real-world learning through immersive experiences in nature.
Rather than focusing on rigid instruction, this method nurtures children through connection, presence, and purposeful action allowing deep, sustainable growth to unfold naturally.
Three Core Journeys
Journey 1
iNATURE Preschool
Where whole-child growth begins with nature.
At iNATURE Preschool, children learn through movement, play, and deep connection with the natural world. Each day is thoughtfully designed to support whole-child growth emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively through real experiences guided by attentive educators and the rhythms of nature.
Discover how children grow when nature becomes the classroom.
Journey 2

Journey 3
iNATURE Global Camps
Where families grow together through nature, culture, and real experiences.
Our global camps bring families into the world’s most breathtaking natural classrooms places where children learn through exploration, and parents rediscover connection, presence, and the essence of education.
Led by the iNATURE teaching team and rooted in The Rooted Action Method™, each journey blends nature immersion, cultural exchange, bilingual learning, and real-world growth for the whole family.
Families don’t just join a camp.They join a cross-cultural learning circle where:
Children grow in confidence and curiosity.
Parents reconnect with their child and with themselves.
Nature becomes the guide for everyone’s transformation.
Each location offers a distinct, carefully crafted experience designed with intention, depth, and lasting impact.
See how one journey can transform your child and your family.

Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Zixuan Yang，founder of iNATURE, early childhood educator, and creator of The Rooted Action Method™. My work sits at the intersection of nature-based education, social-emotional development, and real family guidance in everyday life.
I began iNATURE with a simple but urgent belief: childhood needs to return to the outdoors, and families need a way to reconnect with nature, with their child, and with themselves especially in the AI era.
For over a decade, I’ve worked hands-on in the classroom and alongside families, guiding children through emotional regulation, play-based learning, and nature immersion. Across the U.S. and China, I’ve witnessed one truth: when children learn through real experiences, they grow with confidence, empathy, and joy. When parents learn alongside them, families transform.
At iNATURE, we bring this philosophy to life through three interconnected journeys:
iNATURE Preschool – nature as the classroom
Nestora Family Support – in-home guidance rooted in real moments
iNATURE Global Camps – immersive, cross-cultural experiences for the whole family
Together, these journeys form a model designed to grow resilient children and empowered parents in a rapidly changing world.
Today, iNATURE is becoming a movement built by educators, families, and partners who believe that curiosity, connection, and the natural world must sit at the heart of childhood. If this vision resonates with you, I’d love to explore how we can build something meaningful together.
