Toddlers are fun! I work in a blended age toddler classroom, ages ranging from 12 months to 3 years when they transition up to preschool. I love the outdoors and enjoy reconnecting people with the outdoors and the benefits that come with it! My favorite past times are camping, sailing, going to the beach or the mountains and spending time with loved ones.
