About Me

Kristin
Pasadena , California, United States
I am the Director and former Outdoor Curriculum Coordinator at Pasadena Christian Preschool in Southern California. Our school is thrilled to be a demonstration site for the Outdoor Classroom Project. I have a BS in Early Childhood Ed (Pre-K/Primary) and have been in the field of education for over 15 years. I recently spent time teaching in Taiwan and am now enjoying life back in the US. I am the mother of 2 fantastic boys ages 8 and 5. I have always been a Nature Nut and I love to share my passion for nature with children. If I am not working, you'll find me in the garden. Well...even at school, you'll probably find me in the garden!
