About Us

Hi, I’m Terrie, founder of Wild Child Nature School. I’m a Native Bay Area resident and parent, and I’ve worked in early childhood education for over 3 decades. I’m devoted to helping nurture little ones in their growth!

Our definition of WILD is something we feel every child should be free to experience…

“Our child gets so much joy and inspiration from the creative art projects at WCNS. It’s so valuable for our kids to have these creative activities to look forward to outside of school.”

— Sara, WCNS parent

“Wild Child Nature School is more than an aftercare program; it's a community that fosters a lifelong connection to nature, a sense of adventure, and a close bond between the kids in this wonderful program. We couldn’t recommend it enough!”

— Lindsey, WCNS parent

“Our child came home from WCNS excited, dirty, tired, and full of stories of her adventures every single day. She gained so much confidence and was ready for whatever kindergarten would bring.”
