Educating and caring for children is a task that reaches beyond understanding the child’s physical and intellectual needs. It requires us to think more broadly and deeply, taking into consideration their soul and spiritual development. It calls for us to consider ourselves as the environment from which they soak up the wisdom of the world as they grow. It inspires us to build a space in which they will thrive, and be prepared not only for intellectual learning but for all of life’s endeavors.

In this 4-module course you will discover a meaningful paradigm of care for young children in the modern world. Cynthia Aldinger will guide you in exploring the foundations of care for young children through the insights of Rudolf Steiner, founder of Waldorf Education, and how applying these insights on Life, the Child, the Adult and the Environment creates a form of care and education that is both relevant and critical to truly support the life of the child!
