Wallingford
I have been a Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher for 40 years. After graduating in a Master's Degree in Waldorf Education in England, I moved back to Seattle and taught at the Seattle Waldorf School. I also taught at the Brighton Steiner School in England, and at the Whidbey Island Waldorf School, before I started the preschool at Fremont Community School (FCS), which is now located in Lower Wallingford. I have been the Lead Teacher and Director of FCS since 2001. In June 2023 FCS opened the first fully licensed, Waldorf-inspired, Child Care Center in Seattle, serving children from birth to five years old. In my free time I am a proud member of the Seattle Mosaic Arts studio. I have lived in Wallingford for almost 40 years.

Fremont Community School Open House POSTPONED one week

Tara January 10, 2024 Comments are off

Snow! Just that word is enough to send waves of ecstatic joy to children, worry to working parents, and panic to those who must drive in Seattle snow. It’s not that we can’t drive in snow, it’s simply that we are a city full of roads with unplowed hills and very narrow side streets. (Check out the delightful YouTube clip of a compilation of cars out of control during a snow event in Seattle.) Combine the forecast of snow with our complete inability to actually predict if the snow event will really happen, due to our crazy convergence zones, and …
