Parents, teachers and students are discovering the benefits of outdoor education. Early childhood is an especially important time to introduce the wonders of nature in developmentally appropriate manners. Student led learning and play based approaches are shown to be highly effective teaching strategies. Join me as I explore strategies and curriculum for teaching children in outdoors.

A fundamental aspect of play based education is a focus on the creative impulse. Stories and music are a vital part of being human, and engaging the imagination is an often underrated, yet crucial part of childhood. In that creative spirit, I will share some of my personal creative writings and artwork here.
