Lise Bradford, Teacher

Lise brings to BOPN a deep respect for children and their self-directed play.

Lise believes that everyone should be so lucky to spend their days exploring nature in all weather. Formerly a parent volunteer at BOPN, Lise was inspired to become an teacher by watching her own children and their peers blossom into brave, inquisitive people attuned to nature and community.

She brings to BOPN a deep respect for children and their self-directed play, seven years of parenting (she has three children, two of whom are BOPN students.) Lise graduated from Smith College and has worked as a baker, farmhand and writer.
