Early Childhood

The arts have continually played a dynamic role in my life as a mother, teacher and grandmother. I have been teaching in the Waldorf Kindergarten for the past 35 years. I  recently closed my school, Blue Sky Kindergarten, that was in the heart of Boulder,  and now I have an art studio and classroom in Niwot Colorado called Blue Sky Craft Studio. I hold craft classes, birthday parties, puppetry workshops and puppet  shows throughout the year.

I am presently on the board of the World  Association for Puppetry and Storytelling Arts, where my colleagues  and myself teach all aspects of puppetry and hold conferences and  classes. I also enjoy teaching at Lifeways training and presently  teach Parent/Child classes at the Boulder Valley Waldorf School. I have been so fortunate in my life to have opportunities to create  learning environments based on the Waldorf pedagogy and truly love the ongoing personal learning and growth in myself that it takes to meet  the needs of our everchanging world. I look forward to meeting all of you and hearing about your lives. 

“Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.”
