Meet Liesha
"Children learn through doing – play is how they explore their world, learn how to assess risk, try things out and get to know themselves."
- Bethe Almeras
My name is Liesha Eberst and I am a certified early childhood educator, and parent, excited to be embarking on a journey of creating a unique and enriching early childhood experience that connects young children with nature.
I grew up in the Midwest where I have fond memories of playing outdoors in all kinds of weather. I've always been drawn to anything creative and have a design degree from the Art Institute. I especially love abstract painting and making found object art.
I began my teaching career 25 years ago here in Marin County. I've taught classes and camps at places like the Bay Area Discovery Museum, WildCare, Explorit Science Center and in local schools.
I believe that a play-based program provides the best opportunity for young children to learn self-regulation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. I believe that the outdoor environment is an ideal place for a child’s imagination to soar and relationships to flourish.
I have a 17 year old daughter who is a dual-enrollment student at the College of Marin. She was a Snails & Turkey Tails camp counselor this past summer at China Camp State Park. We have two rescue pets at home that keep us laughing - Momar, a senior chihuahua, and Taylor Swift the kitten.
I look forward to meeting you and your family!
