Launching June 2026 - Nurtured in Nature
“I have been enamored with Nature Based Education since 2016, when my college professor shared a video of a Forest Kindergarten in Switzerland. Needless to say, I spent my remaining college career begging my advisor for any nature based placements they could find! I received my Bachelors Degree in Education in 2020 and accepted a position at a small, family oriented public school in Walworth County, where I have been serving as a licensed Early Childhood and Special Education teacher since. While I’ve loved my role as an educator in a public school, I am ecstatic to serve children in a new capacity- within the natural world!”
