About Beth

I've taught 7 yrs in play-based early childhood ed. I taught for 4 years in a Waldorf-inspired parent coop in Brooklyn NY. I completed a week-long introductory course in Waldorf Early Childhood ed. Our approach celebrated the wonder and imagination of early childhood with an emphasis on nature and imaginative play. I then led Tinkergarten classes for two years, emphasizing engagement with nature and free, messy, play. Currently I am the Toddler teacher at Youth & Family Outreach where I bring elements of both Waldorf and Tinkergarten into the classroom. In all of these positions I engaged children in stories told verbally and with books. I encourage children to actively participate in reading! I have a MA degree in art ed and make my own art. I love exposing children to various art mediums and crafting. I delight in the beauty of childhood and so my approach is one that is freeing, happy, and full of wonder. Very open to play dates. Looking for PT that cld transition to FT.
