Explore our Nature School

Courtney is a Certified Parent Coach, Reiki Master, homeschool educator, and mother of two adventurous learners. She believes children thrive when they are given the freedom to explore, create, and connect with the world around them. Drawing from her experience in Montessori, holistic wellness, child development, and nature-based education, she fosters an environment where curiosity, confidence, and wonder can flourish. Courtney actively engages with her local community center to promote family activities that inspire exploration in nature, ensuring children discover the beauty and practicality of mathematics through real-world hands-on learning as a Math Steward at a nature school.

Ali is a devoted mother, lifelong reader, and passionate advocate for learning through play. She believes that literacy extends beyond simply recognizing words on a page; it opens the door to curiosity, creativity, confidence, communication, and meaningful connections. As LHC’s Reading Steward, Ali collaborates with Rachael to thoughtfully support each child’s developing literacy skills and foster a genuine love of reading through engaging family activities at the local community center. With a nurturing spirit and an eagerness to continually learn and grow, she brings stories to life with imaginative play, nature exploration at the nature school, music, conversation, and hands-on experiences. Ali is committed to creating a warm and encouraging environment where children feel safe to ask questions, express their ideas, build confidence, and learn at their own pace. Her hope is that every child leaves feeling valued, inspired, and empowered to discover—and eventually write—their own story.

As a Teaching Assistant at the Liberty Hill Collective, I’m excited to support our fabulous teachers and help create a fun, welcoming environment where children can engage in family activities and learn. I love encouraging kids to be curious about the world around them, and I believe nature provides some of the best opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery. I’m looking forward to helping our students at our local community center build confidence, make memories, and develop a lifelong love for learning through nature school!
