My name is Tetyana and I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine.

There I completed my studies to become a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature.

In Germany, my son and I discovered forest kindergartens. This delighted and fascinated me.

And I have been allowed to accompany children in the forest since 2008.

It amazes me how much fun the children have exploring and investigating nature.

I completed my final certificate as a specialist educator for nature and forest pedagogy at the Freiberg Nature School.

I am very happy about the collaboration in Villawald, with the team and of course with the children.
