Meet Jill Bienenstock from Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds Learn how Jill uses the outdoors to support child development. Jill is the Director of Education at Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds. She takes advantage of what the outdoors provides to engage children in sensory-rich experiential learning where they can risk assess and find their place of mastery. She supports educators on their nature play journey and finds solutions to the many challenges that educators face.
Jill is an early childhood educator with over 30 years experience in various settings. She currently works as the Director of Education, alongside her husband, Adam, at their company Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds. Jill is part of an exciting team that designs and creates natural playgrounds, which connect children to nature. She focuses on finding ways to extend curriculum outdoors, making it simple and fun for both children and educators. Jill is inspired by the children she works with and enjoys finding creative ways to transform outdoor 'roadblocks' into learning opportunities for all.
