Megan’s favorite memories of growing up on the New Jersey shore are times spent exploring the crevices in the jetties searching for hermit crabs, starfish and anything else she could find.
Vacations meant camping, swimming in the creeks and collecting lightning bugs. Her love of nature and all it has to offer brought solace to her life and a desire to learn more about the world around her. Boston Outdoor Preschool Network gives her the opportunity to share her love of nature and excitement for learning with the children who she believes thrive within a nature based education program.
