Find experienced child care providers in West Stockbridge, MA

I have many years of childcare experience. I'm currently a toddler teacher at a head start. I worked at a home daycare, worked for COARC and Wildwood, provided in home childcare and am also a mother to three children.

I am dedicated to helping nurture the next generation. Connecting to the land is essential for children learning to ground and regulate as well as to feel joy, safety, and centeredness in their bodies. My bachelor’s degree is in Environmental Education, and I have worked in a variety of related professional settings from residential outdoor education programs to state parks to sustainable farming camps. I hold my Permaculture Design Certificate and am currently training as a clinical herbalist. I enjoy organic gardening and foraging as well as cooking and food preservation. I love to get kids involved with these skills and to help them live into a rhythm of seasonality. Not only fun, these activities are also a way to introduce important ecological and natural history concepts. I personally support outdoor free play whenever it’s safe and feasible, even (especially!) in the wintertime. I encourage kids in developing autonomy along with body and emotional awareness. I also promote creative expression through the use of natural and recycled materials in artistry and craft. I am primarily a stay-at-home-mother, so depending on scheduling, my three-and-a-half-year-old son may come along with me for babysitting.

Once I had my own son,, I received my Children's CPR certificate,.I went to school to be a Waldorf teacher, and interned at the Great Barrington Rudolf Steiner school, and then hired to become an assistant, under the tutelage of Michele Kuzia. What a beautiful form of education. I then worked in the hotel field for several years. I've now circled back to my love of children.
