Meet the Facilitators
Here at the CGC, we believe in the importance of nurturing children’s relationship with nature. And four of us are moms with young kids! We get modern parenting with all its challenges and contradictions, so you’re welcome to show up with your kiddo(s) as you are and spend a morning at our urban oasis. As for who’ll be running our Lil’ Sprouts sessions, you’re most likely to meet Stephanie (our Administrative & Facilities Manager, mom to Penelope) or Mary (our Ecology Education Manager, mom to Cadence and Atlas)—and maybe their kids!
