NATURE GUARDIANS
Hannah Brownell
PROGRAM DIRECTOR
East Bay Buds, Teeny Tiny Trailblazers
Hannah Brownell is mom to an energetic and outgoing 2.5 year old boy named Bowen! She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and has spent 12 years as a dedicated career nanny. Passionate about child development, she believes that every child is our greatest teacher. Growing up by the ocean, Hannah developed a deep love for nature, spending hours exploring tide pools, sailing, and building outdoor forts. In her free time, she enjoys baking sourdough, lifting weights, and cultivating meaningful space in her home and friendships.
As an Ocean State Kids group leader, Hannah strives to provide Bowen and other children with enriching outdoor experiences where their curiosity can flourish freely beyond the limits of traditional classrooms. She hopes to create a vibrant community of connected families that learn alongside each other both in parenthood and childhood.
