Nina Miller

Nina Miller has been involved with The Darien Nature Center since 1992. Originally a volunteer, she became a member of the program staff 15 years ago, leading all pre-school program activities. Her imprint in the community is legendary. She has a singular ability to connect with children, knowing how to teach so that they both engage and remember what they have learned. Among the many activities she has developed and taught are Babes in the Woods, Nature Time for two-year-olds, Knee High to Nature for threes, Critters and Kids, Nature’s Playroom, and Story Time with the Animals. Miller also directs a seven-week summer camp for two- and three-year-olds. Her after school program is called Animal Caretakers Club geared for children in Grades 2–6. She also leads elementary school students on environmental tours at the Nature Center and other public parks. The executive director of the Darien Nature Center said “the world is better because of Nina and our environment has a fierce advocate for protection.”
