NATURE GUARDIANS
Tara Kaine

Little Tweets, WILD by Design
Tara Kaine, mother to Edwin and Rylee, has a background as an occupational therapist. She has always been passionate about the outdoors and deeply values the therapeutic benefits of nature. For nine years, Tara worked in early intervention with children aged 0-3, supporting their development through play and movement.
After welcoming her second child last year, she made the decision to stay home full-time, embracing unstructured days filled with play and outdoor adventures. She joined Ocean State Kids to connect with like-minded parents and provide her children with opportunities to build lasting friendships while exploring nature.
The connections she has made so far have been incredible, and she has cherished the many wonderful days spent outside with her family and community. Tara was excited to step into a leadership role, bringing her expertise as an occupational therapist to help this amazing program continue to grow and flourish for both parents and children.
