About Karen

Hello, my name is Karen. I'm an experienced childcare provider and mother of twins. I have also worked as a registered nurse, an outdoor education instructor, and a kindergarten teacher, with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I strongly believe that children thrive when given opportunities to explore nature, engage with their environment, and learn through hands-on experiences. The outdoors offers endless opportunities to build physical and cognitive skills, but it also fosters joy, creativity, resilience, empathy, and confidence. My philosophy is rooted in nature, and the care I provide will be designed to help your child not only cope with the world, but embrace it. If you are a parent of an infant or toddler who believes, as I do, that optimal growth and development occurs when children are supported in a safe, rich natural environment, then I would love the opportunity to help!
