Join me outdoors for some
Spring Empathy!
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 natural world and all
that surrounds them.
As a Certified Outdoor Educator with over 15
years of experience with little one, creating
Nature Sprouts Adventure Club has given me
the opportunity to combine all of my passions for
the environment, education, and youth into one!
Meet Your Nature Guide/
Teacher:
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.
Open-ended, child-led:
Part-science, part-wisdom:
Kids learn best when they lead the way. Tinkergarten helps parents/caregivers support their child’s unique process!
Every lesson combines early learning science with timeless wisdom about nature and childhood. It’s a magical combination!
Supporting YOU so you can support your explorer:
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!
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.
This Spring, our curriculum will focus on empathy
—the special human superpower that we use to
understand our emotions and see the world
through other people's eyes. This season we’ll help
build three important components of empath:
Emotional empathy—understanding your own
emotions.Cognitive empathy—understanding how other
people feel.Compassionate empathy—taking action to care
for ourselves and others.
This Spring, we
help kids’
develop
important social
relationship
skills.
