I am a wife to a French native and the mother of two beautiful, grown children. I grew up in Bothell and love the Pacific northwest. My childhood home had a forest located in the backyard where my friends and I had adventures.   I climbed trees and rode bikes in our neighborhood. Often times when a person remembers a favorite play memory from childhood, the activity takes place outdoors and usually when parents were not involved. I aim to provide a place where these memories can be made with my supervision. I will make sure to stay out of their way as much as possible while also ensuring their safety in order for true free play to take place. 

 I have 17 years of experience in the Early  Childhood Education field with my specialty being school aged kids.  I have learned over the years that given the time and space to goof around,  kids will come up with amazing things!  I will supply the raw materials such as large and small loose parts and art and science supplies, then follow their lead. Nature will be the backdrop and bring its own treasures to the mix. Last but not least, the other children will be the catalyst for rich social opportunities!  

I look forward to welcoming your child to play and learn outside with me and their friends!
