  • Stella Braun (she/her)

    FOUNDER

    FOUNDER

    I am a full time childcare provider with my ECE license. I have a strong passion for outdoor and Waldorf education. I founded Wild Child Playgroup in January 2023 with the dream of creating community of like-minded caregivers who want to be outside no matter the weather. In the future, my goal is to expand Wild Child into a nature-based community centre; offering a Waldorf preschool and prenatal and postpartum support along with an outdoor playgroup.

    You’ll see me every week leading playgroup alongside our amazing volunteers. I also manage the social media.

  • Kaela Brite (they/she)

    CIRCLE TIME LEADER

    I'm an artist, photographer and professional nanny of 10 years with a special focus in working with neurodiverse families. I use a blend of responsive parenting, Montessori and unschooling based methods to help raise amazing humans. You can find me leading playgroup, taking pictures at each new location and doing circle time.

  • Sophie Lapierre (she/her)

    VOLUNTEER

    My background is as a preschool teacher and an educational assistant. When I first heard about Wild Child I knew it was something I wanted to be part of! I am a momma of three and enjoy spending as much time in nature as possible.

  • Kim Dunn (she/her)

    SECRETARY

    I’m a proud mama and adventurer, who would always rather be outdoors. I discovered Wild Child the week before my baby was born, while looking for new ways to be in nature with my growing family. It was exactly the community I had hoped to find, and we’ve been going ever since. I’m also a professional conservationist at a large non-profit, a naturalist, and a poet. It’s my sincere pleasure to help out with governance, funding, and other initiatives to help Wild Child thrive.
