About this listen
Creative free-play is not only a cornerstone of early childhood education in the Waldorf pedagogy, but crucial to healthy child development for all children.
In this episode we hear from Astrid Lackner, an early childhood educator with over 30 years experience (and mother of two amazing young women!).
Astrid has worked with hundreds of children in her career in both Europe and Canada. In this episode she shares her understanding of young minds and illustrates how all children benefit from time in the outdoors, natural materials, freedom to just "be," and a slow-paced, uncluttered schedule AND home environment.
Listen in and discover how important creative free-play truly is to your child's healthy unfolding.
