Tinkergarten Teacher:
Hi! I’m Tiayonna! I’m a North Carolina native that loves being outside with my own two little explores! I love sharing the joys and wonders of nature with our youth in hopes that they will also develop a love for the nature world and all that surrounds them.
As an outdoor educator with over 15 years of experience with little one, Tinkergarten is giving me an amazing opportunity to combine all of my passions into one!
Open-ended, child-led:
Kids learn best when they lead the way. Tinkergarten helps parents/caregivers support their child’s unique process!
Nature at the core:
Stimulating and calming in equal parts, the outdoors provides a perfect environment for kids’ sensory systems, activating their focus and joy for learning.
Part-science, part-wisdom:
Every lesson combines early learning science with timeless wisdom about nature and childhood. It’s a magical combination!
Creating a safe space
for your family to explore:
My top priority as your outdoor educator is to create a safe and inclusive environment to meet your family's needs. When you join Tinkergarten, you join a diverse community of families who share a common goal: getting outside all four seasons!
Supporting YOU so you can support your explorer:
Classes are designed not only to be fun and engaging for your child but also for you as their caregiver! Each week offers opportunity to learn something new together and make memories through open-ended, creative play.
