Are you a teacher or parent of a young child needing tools for creating social/emotional harmony and self esteem?
Perhaps your concern is the classroom or play at home or some other social setting.

BE SMART USE ART!!

It has been proven that young children learn best through play and right brained activities.
For the first 7-8 years, a child needs play which is the child's "work".
The arts in education have been getting cut back, knocked off by budgets prioritizing academics, even for the little ones!
This is robbing them of their most natural and stress free learning environment!
After twenty years of founding, directing and teaching in schools, I developed a artistic nature curriculum,
multicultural, full of story, song, creative movement, modeling, painting,
arts, crafts and organic gardening and food preparation.

What I will give to you is:

1. Seasonal Stories and Curative should you have the need for individual children in your group.

2. Integrated Curriculum music, singing, food, arts, crafts related to the story, season, and the festivals.

3. Circle time movement, song through mp3 and online video clips

4. Resources, Ideas, Positive Imagery and Characters for Positive Discipline in your group

5. Parenting outlines for monthly education and Positive Discipline or Enlightened Parenting

Sandra’s form of Enchant The Child Teaching (based in Rudolf Steiner's work) means that the Preschool/Kindergarten
environments are warm, nurturing and provide the foundation for the child to develop the skills for academic and life success.
In this day and age, the approach is considered "CURATIVE", in that it calms, nourishes, balances as the children
delight with a love of learning that lasts a lifetime! The young children are in the stage if the "symbolic mind", a
"dreamier" consciousness than the adult and worthy of a curriculum that matches their level of development!
Brain development and the integration of The Twelve Senses is stimulated through creative movement and play.

STORIES ~ SONGS ~ GAMES ~ CURRICULUM AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!

  Unique combinations of structure and rich imaginative play
provide the background for daily activities which include:

Arts & Crafts, Storytelling, Singing, Theater, Puppetry, Baking, Circle Time,
Creative Movement, Organic Gardening, and Nature Hikes.

  Sandra has been director, founder and teacher of five Waldorf Inspired Schools,
and brings her own unique magic to the world of alternative education,
using many of the educational principles of Rudolf Steiner and his child development model.
She has taken the curriculum to a universal level so that people, (parents and children)
from all walks of life can feel at home in the circle of community.
Multicultural stories, creative discipline, compassionate communication,
and a win-win philosophy makes her approach a rare find.
Gender balance, respect for the earth and the interdependence of all beings
is emphasized indirectly through story and higher imagery.

  The children are empowered with a sense of belonging to
something larger than themselves and are given enthusiasm for life.
Themes and experiences of a world built on peace, love
and cooperation are woven through all aspects of the day.
Creative discipline, conflict resolution, and effective communication skills
are infused with a mood of collaboration, support and teamwork.
If they are to create a better world, they must have a model to envision it,
and to have actually lived it, is even more powerful.

A child is not prepared for a bad experience
by being given a bad experience!

Every child is a king or queen for every season as nature festivals
are celebrated providing themes for integrated curriculum.

The ENCHANT THE CHILD approach serves as a bridge between home and school
emphasizing social-emotional development, language skills and sensory
integration that is essential for practical and academic achievement.

The WHOLE CHILD is seen, as a spiritual, as well as a physical, emotional, mental and an intellectual being.

The ENCHANT THE approach helps nurture, develop and support:

• The tender, emerging self • Trust in the world • The imagination • The inner life • Artistic expression • Sensory integration • Optimum physical development • Language development • Communication with compassion • Social skills

• Emotional health • Gender balance • Love of learning • Joy for living • Magic awe and wonder • Creative thinking • Foundation for academic strength • Enthusiasm • Connection with something larger than oneself • Respect and Reverence for life
