Sam
Operations Manager
I love working with children because of their inquisitive natures. They remind us to stop and notice every detail; allowing us to appreciate the smaller things in life. I love Dandelion because of the extensive play and learning opportunities children have by being outside; it’s great to have a chance to work in an environment I love.
