Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher Training Mini-course

Dear Members,

I am very excited about this new video filmed at Prairie Flower Children's Center in Ames, Iowa. Delphine Douglas, the teacher, was generous enough to show me around and supplied such wonderful and detailed information about the classroom and the teaching! This video took many hours of planning and coordinating and even more hours of editing. I am so happy to finally be able to share it with you :)

In this video you learn about the 3 R's of early childhood education (they aren't reading, writing and arithmetic:), lazuring walls, how to present a story to the class, how to encourage creativity in the classroom, the most important elements of a Waldorf classroom, how to set up a classroom, the proper way to enter the classroom, the surprising connection between how a toy is treated and how the class functions, the significance of the will forces and much much more! Delphine is a wonderful model of an Early Childhood Waldorf teacher in her speech, intonation and gestures. If you are considering opening a preschool or Waldorf early childhood center (either in your home, as a co-op or otherwise) I would recommend you watch this video first. You will be inspired, learn a lot and have a solid basis for your program. The entire session was filmed in different areas of the classroom so you actually get to see what she is talking about as she speaks.
