Meet your Teacher Guide Team

Where the Passion Begins

We are a passionate and dedicated team of nature lovers and nurturers! Our teacher guides love their work and it shows in everything they do from the tiniest detail in our indoor classroom to the largest adventure in our outdoor classrooms. From lesson planning and creating provocations which encourage children to dig deeper into their thinking process, our focus is to make a positive impact on the children in our programs and to encourage a life long love of natural learning. 

​

All teacher guides and volunteer guides go through a comprehensive background check including PSOR check, TB testing and are certified in infant, child and adult CPR and First Aid and participate in 24 hours of yearly professional development. Ms. Ashley is also certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid.
