Janna brings boundless imagination and dedication to every project she touches, creating rich, integrated educational experiences that reconnect both children and adults to the wonder of the natural world. Watching her inspire others to see nature not just as something to protect, but as something to belong to, is an experience that leaves you in awe. Janna’s work through Earth Friends reminds us that when we learn to listen to the world around us, we also learn how to care for it. 

Earth Friends provides a framework of 5 life-affirming learning modules for young children to understand all life on our planet. 

Something is missing in education, especially in the formative years known as “early childhood.” 

We call it Interconnected Awesomeness. 

This is the magic of learning that we are all connected. From the trees to the stingrays to the mushrooms to you and to me and the clothes you are wearing while you read this. 

We Are Earth Friends builds a foundation of understanding for all life on our planet through a nature-based, playful introduction to planetary systems, ecological relationships, food systems, and energy and production cycles. In the years to come, today’s children will be met with the complexity of natural and humanitarian challenges, and Earth Friends children will have a deeper understanding of their impact and their capabilities in stewarding our planet. 

The youngest generation can rewrite the story of disconnection, distraction, and our diminishing natural world and become the future of positive human impact.

**Earth Friends values:**

**reciprocity:** Earth Friends celebrates the relationships found throughout all of life—the interconnected awesomeness. We are in a constant flow of give and receive with every being and every thing around us.  The simple act of falling in love with our planet is an act of reciprocity.

*“Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart.” Robin Wall Kimmerer*

**nourishment:** Earth Friends learning affirms life. When children pay attention to the source of our food, they learn to nourish their body. When children deepen their love for nature, they nourish their soul. A generation of happy, healthy, caring humans will nourish our society. 

**ingenuity:** Earth Friends believes that the children of today are going to be the doers, dreamers, artists, architects, leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers of tomorrow. Only through seeing our world through the lenses of love, curiosity, and wonder will they invent a happy, healthy, and vibrant future for all.
