Our mission is to nurture each child’s natural sense of wonder and empathy for the world around them, encouraging discovery and connection within our community
Katie P
Before moving back to the Northwest Corner, I worked as a Lead Teacher at the Young Naturalist Preschool in the Hudson Valley. There, we encouraged self-discovery through time spent in nature, expanding on children’s social and emotional skills through play-based learning. Prior to this, I worked across the country as an Environmental Educator in the State Park System and with Non-profit Organizations. Spending the most time with the Appalachian Mountain Club, where I guided and taught programs over three different states. I have always gravitated to the wonders that young children carry in them. Allowing them to explore, learn, and appreciate nature has been a great culmination of my passions and work experience, and I feel fortunate to provide these experiences to young children in my community.

Growing up in Litchfield, Connecticut, I ventured to Northern California, where I spent the past 13 years. I recently moved back to the area and am excited to share the experiences I gained while living and working in an off-grid community. I am an educator, nature lover, and mother who is deeply passionate about community-based learning. While in Northern California, I was a teacher and president of an off-grid, community school, where education was rooted in nature, connection, and resilience. While living in a rural area, I also started a playgroup through the First 5 program to support families with young children who had limited access to early-childhood resources. Community is incredibly important to me, and I am excited to share my passion for education, nature, and community through this program!

Fierce Females: Women in Art, Part IV
The revolutionary spirit of women artists continues to transform our understanding of what art can be and who gets to create it, from the neoclassical elegance of Angelica Kauffman’s mythological scenes to Yayoi Kusama’s mesmerizing infinity rooms that challenge our perception of space itself. This program celebrates the fearless creativity and determination of women who refused to be confined by expectations. Through exploring the diverse voices and groundbreaking techniques of these visionary women, we witness the ongoing revolution that refuses to let talent be silenced by tradition, helping to ensure that future generations inherit a more complete and inspiring vision of artistic greatness.
