History
Parenting can be a challenging and stressful experience, especially for new parents. However, it is during the 0-5 years period that we have a unique opportunity to build strong parent-child relationships, nurture growth in brain development, language development, self-awareness and conscious thinking. These factors help lay a solid foundation for a child's learning and overall well-being throughout their life.
A lot of parents struggle to care for their little ones, and at the same time, take care of themselves. This club is created to help new parents to learn parenting skills, Mandarin languages and connect families to nature.
Nancy-Mentor and Founder
Nancy is a mother of three. She loves taking her own children outdoors and helps connect other families to nature. She grew up in a small town by the river in China. As a child, she enjoyed playing by the river, catching fishes, and making toys out of clay. She loved exploring the grassy field by the river bank, and making new discoveries after school with neighborhood friends. All those childhood experiences nurtured her passion for working in the outdoor settings.
Nancy has been working in the outdoor area for over 10 years when she was in China. After she moved to the bay area with her family, she became passionate about children's education, especially education through play and each child's unique characteristics and interests. Other than being nature mentor, she also works as a private Mandarin tutor/instructor, substitute in local forest schools, and regularly volunteers in a local Chinese library leading toddler storytimes.
Nancy has a B.A. in Economics, and MBA. She finished all Teacher Pipeline required classes regarding early education and currently pursuing her AS-T in Child & Adolescent Development’s Education (finished 51 out of 60 units) in order to be more professional in Education areas.
