ABOUT US
What is our true nature? At True Nature Kid we love to move and play freely, explore new places, connect with nature, ask lots of juicy 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, teacher and nature lover!
I received my Bachelors Of Education from UBC, Vancouver in 2017. I also have a Bachelors of Fine Arts from California College of the Arts. My life calling is to enrich children's learning through art.
I like to make time to read awesome children's books with 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.
