Our Team

Sam has spent the last 10 years nurturing the minds of young children. After welcoming her own children Sam found a love of adventuring and spending their days outside together under the sun surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Sam loves spending her days amongst the trees and by the water with her family + friends. With a passion for early childhood, sustainability and a love of working with her hands you will find her in the kitchen cooking delicious treats, gardening and getting creative.

Sam believes that by providing an environment that nurtures and nourishes a child’s natural wonder in the world around us, they will create an invaluable relationship with nature that they will want to protect into the future.

​You will find Sam facilitating each Monday at The Paddock + Tuesday + alternating Wednesday at The Farm.
