Through the guidance of a highly experienced Waldorf early childhood educator, you will delve into child development; learn about rhythms, transitions, and the cycle of the year; explore the importance of play; examine the inner development of the teacher; experience lessons in handwork, art, movement, and circle time activities; and develop a true practical understanding of Waldorf early childhood education.
