Sarah Baldwin
Sarah Baldwin was born in Chicago and was raised a bi-coastal child—growing up in both Los Angeles and New England. She studied theatre at Bard College and graduated from New York University with a degree in theatre. She worked as an actress in New York City for ten years.
Upon the birth of her first child in 1992, Sarah's life changed profoundly and irrevocably when she realized that children were meant to be her life's work. She taught music-and-movement classes for parents and toddlers; began a support and activity group for stay-at-home-mothers; and worked in mainstream preschool settings in Los Angeles before enrolling in the part-time teacher education program at the Waldorf Institute of Southern California in 1996. She completed Waldorf early childhood teacher training in 1999 at Sunbridge College in Spring Valley, NY., and received an M.S.Ed. in Waldorf early childhood education in 2004.
"Sarah is currently teaching kindergarten at the Ashwood Waldorf School in Rockport, Maine www.ashwoodwaldorf.org , where she has also taught parent/toddler and nursery classes since 1999.
She has also offered workshops and mentoring to Waldorf schools, early childhood teachers, childcare providers and Waldorf homeschoolers. She continues to be involved in the development and deepening Waldorf parent/child work as a member of a working group exploring such work through the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN) www.waldorfearlychildhood.org."
Sarah is the author of Nurturing Children and Families: One Model of a Waldorf Parent/Child Program. Read a sample chapter.
