Teacher Shelly

Hello! I am Teacher Shelly. Here's a little info about me: Before my two daughters were born I was a public school teacher. I am credentialed in California as an education specialist and a multiple subject teacher. I love being a teacher, but I especially love teaching outdoors and helping young children develop important skills while instilling in them a LOVE of nature and care for the environment. For the past 8 years I have taught outdoor parent-child classes through Tinkergarten. My new venture, Bay Area Nature Play, will continue to offer the same great outdoor classes using the same professionally designed Tinkergarten curriculum.  I can't wait to play & learn outside with you!
