Rejuvenation in the Time of Covid-19 for Early Childhood Teachers:
Re-imagining the Role of the Teacher
June 29 - July 3, 2020.
The purpose of this online course is to realign ourselves with core principles as we deepen our understanding of our role as teachers in these extraordinary times. How do we hold on to what we know is good, true, and beautiful for our children? For two hours each day, we will transform the zoom classroom into a place for study and conversation, dance and renewal. This is the fourth year of our collaboration and we are delighted to meet the challenge with striving, humor, and humility.
The teacher as:
Monday - the one who models the connection to the spirit
Tuesday - the facilitator of imaginative play
Wednesday - storyteller - the one who develops living pictures
Thursday - the one who solves problems through observation
Friday - artist - the one who choreographs aesthetic experiences

Sophia’s Hearth is starting a new cohort for our Birth-7 Certification course. The first summer will be held via distance learning with all of our usual faculty members adapting their classes to maintain the richness of our usual program. Spots are still available for new students.
We are also beginning a Birth-3 cohort which we have adapted to mirror the new WECAN proposed standards for its anticipated Birth-3 Certification program. We are happy for the opportunity to offer our recognized Birth-3 specialty program aligned with the new standards.

Midsummer Festival of Puppetry Arts - Saturday July 25th 2020
A Collaborative Showcase
We welcome you to join us, from the comfort of your own location, for a virtual celebration of the gifts of storytelling and puppetry arts. In lieu of our East Coast conference because of pandemic restrictions, this year we invite artists, educators, and therapists who are working out of Waldorf inspiration to share their essential work with others! Our event will open at 1pm (EST) on July 25th with an exploration of the theme, “Imaginal Forces and the Power of Healing”, to be followed by short video clips of puppet story presentations and a reflection from their creators.
Donations to this event will support the formation of an association for threefold storytelling and puppetry arts. For more information please contact Janene Ping:
