About Jennifer

As an educator at Sensory Garden and Play (SGP), Jennifer is a beacon of inspiration for the youngest learners – the Sprouts and Saplings. Her work is defined by a dedication to sharing the magic of nature's wonders with children, allowing them to experience the joy of discovery firsthand. Jennifer believes that being outdoors is a form of therapy, and her approach to teaching mirrors this sentiment. Her favorite part of teaching lies in witnessing the transformative effects of nature on her students, igniting their curiosity and fostering a sense of wonder.

Jennifer's thirst for knowledge and connection extends to her own journey of learning. She is currently exploring the intricate world of insects and trees, with a specific interest in dragonflies – creatures that captivate her due to their incredible life cycle. Jennifer's fascination with the natural world doesn't stop there; she also envisions diving into the realm of survival wilderness classes someday.
