I used to work for my mom in Southern Maine at her early childhood education program where we embodied Anthroposophy & Waldorf inspired learning traditions like song & dance, story time & outside play. I learned a lot about the importance of imagination in a young child's life and I observed the positive reaction children had to hands-on activities and projects that gave them purpose. I have experience working with infants as young as 6 months old, with them I focus on 'tummy-time' and trying to crawl, reading books, playing with their toys and listening to music; things that aid in their development. As well as covering the basics of infant care: feeding bottles and transitioning to solids when it's time, changing diapers and occasionally bathing the babies. I also have experience working with toddlers all the way up to age 7. With them I tend to observe where they are at in their development and do child-led activities and projects.
