seasonal experiences
Family connection
Water represents emotion, intuition, adaptability, connection, rest, and the inner world. Winter programming creates space for reflection, imagination, emotional awareness, and the ability to move with change.
Earth represents stability, nourishment, embodiment, and the foundations that allow growth to occur. Earth programming connects to the physical body, the natural world, home, routines, building, and stewardship.
Fire represents energy, transformation, courage, creativity, vitality, and action. Summer programming provides an opportunity for children and adults to express what they have learned, take risks, create, lead, and celebrate.
Air represents thought, language, ideas, movement, communication, and expansion. Spring programming invites curiosity, exploration, conversation, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas.

Meet Our Family Wellness Director
Hello! My name is Lindsay, and I have been working with young children professionally for over 12 years. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and am certified in both Special Education K–12 and General Education K–6. Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of educational settings and have supported children with many different learning styles, strengths, and needs.
I am passionate about creating a warm, supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, asking questions, and exploring the world around them. I believe children learn best through meaningful, real-life experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and connection.
Outside of teaching, I love spending time outdoors with my husband and 1-year-old son, trying new recipes, and anything involving animals!
I’m excited to meet new families and create meaningful, engaging learning experiences together!
