Welcome Friends! 
 

 I am so glad you're here. I am Bridger Hahn, an educator and lifelong gardener. I delight in building healthy ecosystems (hello happy frogs and lizards) and community-focused,  growth mindset-centered classrooms (hello accountable, kind and empathetic humans)!  Following my heart, I am merging these two passions by providing

discovery and learning opportunities in my outdoor classroom.  

Working in collaboration with the physical world as a learning tool and teacher, I aim to build connections and relationships with nature and among children.  

 

A native North Carolinian, I studied Non-Profit Management at the College of Charleston before receiving a Master of Arts in Education from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.  I have been a classroom teacher for the last decade where I enjoyed putting my love for nurturing young minds into practice.

 

    I feel most at home immersed in nature. Being that WE ARE NATURE, I find it to be our best teacher.  I recently created an outdoor classroom environment in my home garden to share with children and families. I am so excited to transition from teaching indoors to outdoors, where children can get their hands dirty, make noise, and grow through experiential learning. 

 

My mission is to empower young minds while building connections and environmental awareness.​ The benefits of outdoor learning for children are numerous and well-documented. When we have a relationship with nature, we are more inclined to advocate for and protect it.
