Description

This is a practitioner-based program open to practicing Waldorf early childhood educators and others with ongoing experience in Waldorf early childhood education settings (see our Admissions Requirements for more information). Blending course work with continuing experience of working with children allows the Sunbridge coursework to enrich your current work with young children; assignments and projects are also designed to support and deepen your work with young children during the course of your training.

Bette is the Finance Director at Sunbridge and has been involved with bookkeeping and accounting for over 40 years. Active in the alternative movements of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Bette was always the person “keeping the books.” A native New Yorker, she spent 11 years in Harlemville, NY, working in the finance office at the Hawthorne Valley Association and at the Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School. In the late 90s she moved back to New York City and soon learned that Sunbridge needed someone to help with finances a few days a week. She’s still at it!

Jessica has been the Executive Director of Sunbridge Institute since September 2008. Jessica’s professional background in Waldorf education includes serving as the first administrator and as a board member at a Waldorf school she co-founded in Everswinkel, Germany. She holds a BS in Business Management.

We provide you with plenty of tools for your Waldorf teaching, offering countless suggestions for curriculum and supplying you with plenty of materials. We also offer you lots of support through opportunities in both Sunbridge classrooms and in Waldorf school settings. Plus, as a student in our Elementary Teacher Education program, you’ll get to experience what your students will—learning how to play the recorder, practice eurythmy (a form of movement expressing music or the spoken word), sing, paint, draw, sculpt, and practice handwork, among many other activities.
