About ECE Waldorf Educator Laurie Clark
Laurie Clark has had the privilege of being a Waldorf early educator since 1978. She incorporates her therapeutic training into all aspects of the classroom and is in continual research through observation and constant engagement with the young child. The deep question of how to meet the children of today and exploring their needs in practical applications lies at the heart of her work.
