Libby Able is a licensed Early Childhood Educator and lead instructor at Sticks and Spouts- Gainesville, where muddy boots, curious minds, and outdoor adventures are all part of the daily routine.

 With a master’s degree from Converse College and over 15 years in the classroom, she brings both experience and a sense of wonder to every learning moment.

Libby believes the best learning happens through exploration, play, and a little bit of dirt. She’s passionate about helping children (and grown-ups, too) discover the magic and importance of nature-based play.

When she’s not outside inspiring young learners, Libby is a mom to two daughters and has been happily married for 18 years. You can often find her relaxing with a glass of sweet tea and a good book in her favorite hammock.
