Walking Ferns programs grow best when they are shared, curious, and co-created. Most of our activities are designed around learning, exploration, and real-world experiences, rather than comfort or luxury (with a few special premium programs clearly marked).
Some events take shape when enough families show interest, and a few work beautifully with parent or local volunteer support. Wherever that’s needed, we’ll mention it openly.
If something here sparks your curiosity, jump in, register early, or reach out. Many of our best experiences have grown from simple conversations and people coming together.

I'm an educator, homeschooling mentor, and lifelong learner. Having homeschooled my own children, I understand the excitement and uncertainty of choosing an alternative educational path.
If you’re exploring alternatives to conventional schooling, I can help you navigate recognised curricula and learning pathways to find what works best for your child and family.
My superpower: Making learning simple, meaningful, and joyful.
I love noticing the little things—the spark in a child's eyes, the messy moments of discovery, and the stories hidden in everyday learning. For me, every child has a story worth telling, and it's a privilege to help preserve those memories.
Something I love: Watching children enjoy moments of silence in this noisy world.
I'm usually the first friendly voice you'll hear from Walking Ferns. I stay connected with parents and volunteers, share updates, and keep our WhatsApp community buzzing. I also spend time with children as a learning facilitator, which is easily my favourite part of the day.
Fun fact: I've read the same picture book ten times and still laugh at it every single time.
I help keep the day-to-day operations at Walking Ferns running smoothly, overseeing administration, finance, and HR. I'm also a mental health professional who believes in creating a safe, welcoming community where people of all ages can learn, grow, and be themselves.
My superpower: Bringing clarity to chaos—both in systems and in people.
Something I love: Music, art, and meaningful conversations.
I'm passionate about creating learning environments where children can develop curiosity, responsibility, and a strong sense of self. Through Walking Ferns, I work with families, facilitators, and children to explore alternatives to conventional education and design meaningful learning experiences rooted in real life.
My superpower: Asking questions that make people think differently.
Something I love: Music, woodwork, outdoors, and time with my loved ones
