Lead Teacher Shelly Stern

Shelly Stern has worked as a camp counselor, mentor, teacher and childcare provider for over 15 years. She is a veteran homeschooling mother, gardener, artist, and bicyclist who enjoys fostering a greater sense of community through play. She has worked with me at BHLC this past two year and Shelly is a wealth of knowledge, a great community resource, a fantastic communicator and has been a fabulous influence on my children as well as all of the children who have passes through our doors.

Here is how Shelly describes her self:

I share plants, barter, organize games and projects for kids, I teach parent and me nature classes. I volunteered at a local preschool this year-- delighting in smashed tile mosaics, walks around town, and field trips to local places of interest.... I swing in hammocks, ride bikes, organize parades for the fun of it. I pick strawberries and give some to the neighbors, I try to teach myself banjo, I encourage my son to explore stilt walking and unicycling...
I am the coordinator for kids bike education at Community Bikes, I helped with the QCC farms 4-h club bike rides around town, I am on our neighborhood association board, I work for peace, I try to listen to my intuition, the seasons....
