The Wilton Land Trust is a community-focused nonprofit organization that conserves land, protects biodiversity, enhances ecosystems, and builds community.

This Winter, with Playful Roots Learning and the Wilton Land Trust, explorers will meet weekly to engage in exploratory, meaningful nature play designed to awaken the senses, develop skills like empathy and problem-solving, spark inquiry, and expand understanding of the natural world.

This Fall, Playful Roots Learning and the Wilton Land Trust will focus on Wellness—that combination of physical, mental, and emotional health kids need to thrive. Our curriculum will help kids develop language, strategies, and habits that help build strong bodies, minds, and hearts.

After leaving the corporate life behind to dedicate my time to nurturing the little ones in my life, I found my two true passions: nature and childhood development. In 2017, I discovered the perfect intersection of these passions in Tinkergarten. I became a certified Tinkergarten teacher that year and have only grown more dedicated to outdoor, play-based learning since then.

When I'm not outside teaching classes, you can find me volunteering my time in the schools, working as a board member of a local environmental non-profit organization, or planning our next family adventure! I am so incredibly excited to launch Playful Roots Learning and bring the wonderful Tinkergarten program to Wilton and surrounding communities. I look forward to meeting you outside!
