Village Heart
Founder and Guide: Brooke Mayer
Brooke brings over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, including many neurodivergent learners. She has created rich, hands-on learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, using project-based learning and the natural environment as her curriculum. She believes children learn best when they can move their bodies, engage their senses, and explore their surroundings at their own pace—while a caring educator gently guides and fuels their passions. Her work is rooted in special education and behavior analysis, with a deep respect for each child’s nervous system, developmental stage, and unique way of processing the world. Through Organic Gardening Co and the Gentle Village program, Brooke weaves together organic gardening, sensory play, and social-emotional learning. Her hope is to give children not only the skills of gardening and an understanding of how nature works, but also a lasting sense of confidence, curiosity, and connection to the earth that they can carry into their future.
