Lauren Bonich, Toddler Teacher

Lauren grew up in south Florida, where spending time in nature was a huge part of her life. The forest and the ocean have always been some of Lauren’s favorite places.  Her love of nature led her to a degree in Natural Resource Conservation from the University of Florida, with specializations in environmental education and restoration ecology.

Lauren is so excited to provide BOPN children with a safe and accepting environment to help them grow into their best selves. Facilitating emotional resilience and development for the kids is of utmost importance to Lauren. As a toddler teacher, she strives to help children connect with the earth and each other.

In her spare time, Lauren can be found gardening, reading, writing, and painting with watercolors.
