The position is also open to individuals who do not have Waldorf experience but who have early childhood education experience of a contemplative nature. We live on 5 acres in the country, 4 miles from downtown Boulder with a couple of horses and a couple of dogs and room for gardening. Both girls go to school – one to a Waldorf pre-school and the other to a public charter school. We value arts and music and having our kids play outside.
