Our Team
The Farm
Seed and Sky Learning Club meets at the 15 acre Beaver Moon Farm in Forest Hill. We believe that the environment is our first teacher. There is so much to see and learn just by slowing down and noticing our surroundings. During our days at the farm, we will observe the small and constant changes in our environment throughout the year. Our goal is to foster a deep connection to the cyclical nature of world.
Kelley McGill
I believe nature is our home and original place of belonging. As a mother, caregiver, preschool teacher, and forest school guide, I feel deeply called to support others in finding their own connection with nature. I received a graduate certificate in Nature Based Early Childhood Education from Antioch University. Before shifting to nature based work, I taught special education in public schools, an experience that continuously fuels my passion for accessibility and equity in outdoor spaces.
Sara Vail
As a homeschool graduate and a mother of two neurodiverse homeschooled children, I have a deep understanding of the unique lifestyle and needs of homeschooling families. As an active member of multiple homeschool communities and educational programs, and over 25 years working with young children, I am comfortable guiding children of all learning styles and can be a resource for families just starting their homeschool journey. Along with a B.A. from Goucher College I have Waldorf Early Childhood cert through Lifeways, as well as an Early Childhood Cert. from the state of Maryland. I am dedicated to continuously growing and learning, and you will often find me in various nature based educator and naturalist training programs! If you are new to homeschooling, I am happy to offer any guidance or advice!
