The Child from Birth to Three in Waldorf Education and Child Care

USD $18.00

This is another book that I, for one, have been hoping to see for nearly 30 years.  It covers a topic that is vital to the health of our children in this time, that of Waldorf childcare for the very young.  And, it covers it beautifully and thoroughly, with dozens of wonderful color photos from actual Waldorf nurseries.  If you have a young child or want to work with young children, my opinion is that this book is essential, happy, joyous reading.

Author: Rainer Patzlaff, Claudia McKeen, Ina von Mackensen, Claudia Grah-Wittich
