Tiffany completed her LifeWays Early Childhood Certificate in Phoenix, AZ in March 2018 while serving as both the Administrative Assistant and cook. She also has a degree in business finance, and has completed the Mothering Arts postpartum training and a number of other early childhood trainings.
She has had a lifelong dream to work with young children. She discovered Waldorf Education shortly after her first child was born. She started a home school group that began by celebrating festivals, has had an in-home program and later taught in the kindergarten at Desert Marigold Waldorf. She then went on to establish a 70 family Parent & Child program at Tucson Waldorf School and currently she is supporting Waldorf Homeschool families though Seasons of Seven and is a lead teacher at a cottage school. She is fulfilling her dream to bring the life-changing LifeWays training to her community.
