Marilyn Brink

Marilyn has a BS in Therapeutic Recreation and an M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education. Her professional experiences range from programs for young children in early intervention services, child welfare, and Head Start to adjunct faculty in ECE Departments at area community colleges.

Marilyn sees adults as the gate-keepers to young children’s access to nature and has worked to make nature and nature play available to every child.

Marilyn has seven nature-loving grandchildren and believes nature is a second language all young children can and should have the opportunity to learn!

Marilyn is our Littlest Explorers Enrichment Educator, provides our Inside-Outside, Outside-Inside Professional Development course for early childhood educators and carers, and she is a substitute educator.
