I was magnetically drawn to the art content throbbing at the core of Waldorf education. I believed it would be helpful at a time when I felt the need for a personal retreat. I got more than I bargained for. It was not my plan to train to become a teacher. Yet, as I immersed myself in learning the simple basics of the wide spectrum of art forms, I gradually began to appreciate the enormous potential it held for the development of very young children. I saw it as foundational for them developing a healthy sense of self, a wholesome appreciation of life, their learning capacity, their social skills, and their overall resilience. My interest in education was born. My perceptions about children shifted dramatically. The functional relationship between WTEE and Eugene Waldorf School provided me with the opportunity to experience the practical application of the many things I learned in the three years of my teacher training. Now I wish to make my contribution to the world through children, to help them experience and understand what healthy living is, as they prepare to step into a world in which ‘normal’ is changing so quickly that even mature adults find it challenging to tackle. I believe that Waldorf education can help prepare children to find their place and live productively in such a world.
