ABOUT US
What's your true nature? At True Nature Kid we love to move and play freely, explore new places, connect with nature, ask lots of questions, make things with our hands, invent games, read books, share our learning, paint our faces,
be silly, and be grateful to feel alive!
Meet The Team
Hi, my name is Purnima, you can call me Puma!
​
I am the lead teacher at True Nature Kid!
I'm a mother, a learner, and a nature lover!
I received my Bachelor's of Education from UBC, Vancouver, in 2017. I also have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California College of the Arts. I believe that learning is a lifelong inquiry and should be
fun and engaging.
I like to make time to read awesome children's books to my daughter, go on long walks and bike rides, be surrounded by nature, do yoga, cook delicious, healthy meals for my family, make art, and dance for fun!
​
I did my Emergency Child Care First Aid CPR B / AED in October 2023.
