“It takes a village to raise a child” - Proverb

What possibilities await when we tap into one of our greatest resources and engage in meaningful conversations? Join host, Haylee Olver, and parent guest, Lance Zacharias, in a meaningful conversation about nature and learning. 

Haylee Olver, BEd & MEd, is an early years teacher with Prairie Spirit School Division. Parent guest, Lance Zacharias, CPA, CMA, is a father of four, CFO of Zak’s Home Hardware in Hague & Warman, SK and a nature enthusiast. 

The two explore how learning happens everywhere through sharing experiences, stories, and values about learning outdoors from both home and school. They explore how honouring parent voices and funds of knowledge can lead to co-created learning experiences and a shared vision.
