Intro 

Madlen Sarkisyan CO-Founder of Children's Forest School for over 15 years and homeschooling Mama since 2020 Madlen has had a passion for nature and child development that compelled her to begin her journey.  

Madlen is a seasoned classroom teacher with years of experience working alongside children. She has a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education and has presented at conferences across the country, as well as teaching various courses at local colleges. However, after the pandemic there was a shift and she emerged with a clear sense of what meaningful learning and connection can look like without walls, within nature. In an effort to create community for her child, the idea of Children's Forest School was born when she met Melissa and shared the same values in creating such a place for all children. A place to be wildly curious, free to explore and build deep connections.  

Top three takeaways 

1. How Madlen and Melissa want to encourage children to build an appreciation for the world around them and help them understand their place within it. 
2. How they created the school for our own children to have access to this kind of experiences in learning with peers. 
3. Go outside! Go explore with your children… go look for mushrooms and flowers and listen to the birds… it’s all waiting for you.
