By: BLANNING,NANCY, ED.

Price: $23.50

Publisher: Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America:

Seller ID: 12420

ISBN: 1936849186

Rudolf Steiner’s art of education was meant to serve the whole world, not just a single continent or country. What is universal in this education is that an I or a person or a Self wants to identify itself with an inherited body. The five keynote lectures from the 2012 International Waldorf Early Childhood Conference explore this theme from different points of view.

The kindergarten years, when children are aged between about three and six years, are some of the most formative in their development.
