Early Childhood Teacher Rejuvenation

Early Childhood Teacher Rejuvenation: Bathing in the Well of Inspiration

with Noelle Thompson and Kate Hammond

June 22-26, 2026 | 8am-4pm

Cost: $450

In this rejuvenating week, we will take a deep dive into the wellspring of our work—Rudolf Steiner’s indications for early childhood teachers. What resources will help us meet the children in the fall? How can we live into the essentials of our work so that our students may inspire us and fill us with the forces we need?

Throughout the week we will play together, move circles, and build a picture of how these principles can shine in the classroom. Our study will center around the pillars of Waldorf early childhood teaching. In the afternoons we will make, enliven, and animate with silk marionettes. Come and join us for crafts, study, eurythmy, and speech.

Noelle Thompson has been teaching for over 30 years in “alternative” schools where honoring the whole child and nurturing lifelong learners aligns closely with her personal values. Since 2008, she has been teaching in early childhood at Live Oak Waldorf School.

Kate Hammond is a Waldorf graduate and has taught early childhood and grades for over 30 years. She is a parent coach, an adult educator, and a Spacial Dynamics® trainer. Kate is the author of Why Be Screen Free?
