Sabrina

Sabrina loves interacting and being with children and this is clear from her long-running background in teaching and personal tutoring. She really enjoys being present in nature, with the fresh air and its serenity. Sabrina's calm and patience noticeably have a huge impact on the children and she has a knack for bringing along the most wonderfully fitting books that lend to fantastic outdoor story time.

Forest School Coach

Munirah

Forest School first resonated with Munirah when it was introduced in her Diploma. She has background experience in Early Childhood settings and actively volunteers, specifically working with young children. Munirah is also warmly known as Moon to some of the children and is quickly becoming famous amongst the groups for her awesome knot and rope skills.  

Munirah's favourite thing to do in the forest is to watch the children grow in character and personality.

Also being able to witness firsthand when children overcome their fears such as height, mud, insects, the list goes on!

Tampines Eco Green is one of her favourite nature areas as it is close to the heartland.

She loves that every Forest School session feels like an adventure and is always honing her observational skills and learning fascinating things about our natural world.

Celine's current favourite nature space in Singapore is Changi Bay Point where you can observe how the tide changes through the day and enjoy the sunset sky. 

Forest School Coach

Aini

Aini uniquely found her initial love for nature, particularly gardens, in a fiction book that she read in her English Literature class. This led her to search for a platform where she can interact and experience life away from the hustle and bustle of the city. What could be more beautiful than a book reading session and hot chocolate while enjoying the fresh air of nature! One of Aini's favourite things at Forest School is a good game of catch and her favourite outdoor space has to be the Botanic Gardens due to fond memories she has built there with friends

Forest School Coach

Fizah

Fizah has extensive experience as a Special Needs Educator, trained in SPED education and teaching in a specialist School for children with Autism for seven years before joining us. Being outside in nature is very much part of her lifestyle, in and outside of sessions. 

Fizah's favourite Forest School activities are outdoor cooking (and she has shared some brilliant campfire recipes at our excursions!) and nature art. Her natural happiness and humour lighten all of our sessions!

Fizah's favourite place to soak up nature and the outdoors in Singapore is the brilliant island of Pulau Ubin.
