For most nature educators, getting into a public school can be daunting and even a little intimidating. The desire to offer forest education to ALL children is balanced against the number of hoops we have to jump through to make it happen.
Enter April Zajko, who is a nature preschool teacher with a keen understanding of how to find ways to collaborate with schools and organizations in a variety of settings.
She's a 'Jill of All Trades', when it comes to Forest Education.
She presents at conferences. She leads 'teacher retreats' in the woods. She moderates a massive Facebook Group called the Nature Inspired Teacher. She teaches college classes, and online programs for educators. She is still a preschool teacher, too.
It's been a wonderful time hearing her vision of hope for our children, and the future of early childhood education.
