About the store
My name is Kailyn, and I'm the teacher behind Toadstool Learning! I have taught for many years in a variety of different settings but always come back to my love of teaching about nature. Younger learners are my favorite, I just really appreciate their curiosity and sense of adventure.
I started Toadstool Learning in the summer of 2020, as I transitioned out of the classroom. I create learning materials that are both nature-based and Montessori-inspired. I love sharing these materials with you and hope they inspire you to explore with your students.
