This course offers a foundation in the principles and practice of Steiner Waldorf early childhood education and care, equipping you for work in the early childhood sector. It meets the regulatory requirement for nationally validated early years qualifications at level 4 and level 5 and the international benchmarks for Steiner Waldorf early childhood education. This education is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner (1861 - 1925) and many others who have developed the principles and practicalities since the first school opened in 1919.
